Putting Unripe Pears in the Fridge? 🚫Stop doing that!

Turns out pears are totally different from other fruits - they actually ripen better OFF the tree! Pick firm, unbruised pears at the store Don't stress if they feel rock hard - that's exactly what you want. Leave them on your counter for 4-7 days Just let them sit at room temperature and check daily. Speed things up with a paper bag Toss them in a paper bag and they'll be ready in 2-4 days. Add a banana or apple to the bag This releases ethylene gas and gets them ripe in just 1-3 days. Test by gently pressing the neck Once it gives slightly, it's perfect! Seriously, never put unripe pears in the fridge - it actually stops them from ripening properly. #pearripening #fruithacks #kitchentips #Food #Cooking
