I’ve got 3 bananas and some ripening tomatoes in a paper grocery bag trying to ripen one green tomatoe that fell off early.
Gonna give it a week and see if it starts to turn - nothing yet after about 48 hours yesterday. I’ll check again.
The ethylene gas coming off the bananas (and maybe the tomatoes?) is supposed to help tomatoes ripen, even green.
oh fer cryin out loud - allergies making my eyes itch
TOMATO
I have heard that bananas will hasten it along. I have always just washed the tomato in warm water, let it air dry, and wrapped it in a newspaper or paper napkin and let it ripen. Works 98% of the time.
