I guess my supermarket just got a fresh shipment in of everything lol Today at the supermarket all of the banana's they had were greenish yellowish. how can i get them to turn yellow by tomorrow? my mom said a paper bag but i tried that last time and it was still green the next day =(
i eat a banana every single day so this is a crisis for me.

Also i bought green mangoes (red when ripe) how do i get them to ripen faster as well?


Thanks!

    Ripe banana in a brown paper bag has always worked for me. Careful not to leave in too long or it over ripens.

    put an apple in the paper bag with the banana. There is a gaz released form the apple that will help the banana to be ripe..

    Ive heard people putting them ina brown paper bag. I personalyl never tried it, I usually just let it ripen on its own

    Try hanging them while in the bag.
