Pre-heat your oven for 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then take your avocado and wrap it completely and tightly in tin foil. Once your oven is heated, set the covered avocado on a baking sheet and place it inside for 10 minutes. When it's finished warming up, it should be much softer and easy to scoop.
So how does this trick work? Most fruits are ripened by the slow release of ethylene gas, which happens naturally over time. By sealing up the avocado and heating it up, you're increasing the release time of the gas which in turn ripens it much faster.
Now you'll never have to wait around or hop from grocery store to grocery store in search of the perfectly ripened avocado. Try this incredible food hack for yourself and enjoy all the wonders of a ripened avocado whenever your heart desires.
