There are some general and scientific ways that can help you ripe the bananas quickly without compromising its taste. There is a molecule called "Ethylene" which allows banana to ripe and change colors. Though the timings of ripeness vary with each method. Some of them will make your bananas ready to eat for you within minutes while some will take 24 hours or a bit longer. In this article, we'll discuss some of the ways to ripe the bananas quickly at home.

# 1 - Keep bananas in a paper bag:

It may seem like a joke but hey, it's not. When you close the paper bag carefully, it allows Ethylene to build up and well, you need exactly the same to ripe your bananas. It is reported by many people that they are able to ripe their bananas within 24 hours after putting into a paper bag.

I'd still argue that it depends on the temperature in your country and the place where you keep that bag. But you can experiment it yourself and find the best timings and place to keep like how warm the temperature needs to be. All you need is a big paper bag and put all of your bananas into that bag, close it completely and check after 24 hours. I'm sure that you'll wonder about the results by yourself!

# 2 - Put bananas in the oven:

Want to ripen your bananas quickly to make an Asian Fruit Chaat? Yep, it tastes delicious, especially when you mix it with Avocado and a little bit red chili and sugar. That's a great idea to warm up your family members. Spicy and sweet at the same time! (can be unhealthy if big quantity of sugar or chili is used).

In that case, you may not like to wait for 24 hours, so let's ripen your bananas in the oven within 1 hour. Sounds awesome, right? All you need is to put your bananas in the oven for some time (between 30 minutes to 1 hour). Don't put it on high heat level cause you're not cooking the bananas, you're just giving a little bit heat to speed up the ripening process.

# 3 - Put bananas in the microwave:

Can't wait for 50 minutes to ripen the bananas? Let's get a little bit more advanced. All you need is a microwave to ripen the bananas. It's your choice whether to put all the bananas covered with peels. Remember! if the covered bananas are put into the microwave, it may take a little bit longer than 2 minutes.

It may not be safe for your microwave if you put unpeeled bananas in it. But you don't need to be impatient. Can't you just wait for 2 minutes? or maybe less than 2 minutes. It all depends on your ripening preference. Adjust the timing with your ripening preferences.

Now you can make your Chaat and enjoy with the family. Remember to add a little bit sugar and red chili to make it spicy and delicious. I'm sure you'll love it.
