Yes, a granite countertop can cause fruit to ripen faster due to its ability to retain heat. The solid surface can absorb and radiate warmth from the environment, creating a slightly warmer microclimate for the fruit. Additionally, if the countertop is exposed to sunlight, it can further speed up the ripening process. However, the effect may not be significant compared to other factors like humidity and air circulation.
