∙ 12y agoBananas and peaches can be ripened in a brown bag. Turn tomatoes upside down on kitchen counter. Let watermelons, cantaloupes, etc. set a minimum of 2 days in a cool spot (preferrably inside your house) to sweeten them up before eating. Rind fruits, Oranges, lemons, etc. should be left on the tree to ripen and sweeten up on their own.
