Is fruit living after it's picked?
Yes, fruit is considered living even after it is picked because it can continue to undergo biochemical processes such as ripening and decay. However, once it is detached from the plant, it will no longer grow or produce new cells.
Does fruit ripen faster if placed in bag?
Ripening fruit in bagsYes. It can help to hasten the ripening process of some fruit if you place them in a paper bag. Ripening fruit release ethylene gas, and exposure to ethylene has been shown to hasten ripening, so placing the fruit in a closed bag traps the ethylene and facilitates ripening. This only works for fruit that ripen after being harvested. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, and bananas, to name a few, will benefit from being placed in a bag. Citrus fruit -- oranges, lemons, grapefruits -- will not ripen after they're picked.

How do you make bananas overripe?
Keep them all together, don't separate them, and wait a few days. They will ripen faster if you don't separate them. Bananas as well as most fruits give off gas as part of their ripening process. All plants give off gas once they are picked and begin to decompose (ripen), and this gas increases the speed of ripening, so it becomes a circular process whereby the bananas become more ripe at an increasing rate as they ripen. If you trap the gas in a paper bag, it increases the exposure of the banana to the increased gas and quickens the ripening process.
Why are my avocados hard and not ripe enough to eat?
Avocados are hard and not ripe enough to eat because they were likely picked too early or stored in a cool place, hindering the ripening process. Placing them in a paper bag with a banana or apple can help speed up ripening by releasing ethylene gas.
