Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 It can also help to add a banana to the brown paper bag. something about a gas that the banana gives off that helps fruit ripen.

Not easily detectable, it exists where produce is stored. In nature, the largest producers are plant and plant products (ie. fruits, vegetables and floral products) which produce ethylene within their tissues and release it into the surrounding atmosphere. It is also a by-product of man-made processes, such as combustion. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
