How To Ripen Bananas Fast!

1. Using warmth

Store the bananas in a warm place in your house such as on top of the fridge, on a window ledge or in a boiler cupboard.  

The perfect temperature for ripening bananas is 65–68ºF (18–20ºC). Use a thermometer to check the temperature of your room.

2. Using humidity

Bananas like humidity.  If your house is quite dry, try out one of the options below: 

1. Run a humidifier 
2. Or use a diffuser
3. Or leave out bowls of water.

4. Using a plastic bag

Place the bananas in a plastic bag.  Make sure the plastic bag has some air holes in it or the fruit might go soft.

5. Using another fruit

Add another fruit to the bag such as an apple to release ethylene gas which is a natural gas contained in the fruit that triggers ripening.  Use the ripest fruit you have.

*Note: Check the bananas every day.  The bananas will usually ripen within 2 days but may take longer if they are very green to start with.

How To Ripen Bananas Even Faster (Within 1 Day or 1 Hour)

It is much better for your health to wait until bananas are truly ripened before eating them.  

But if you just can’t wait, here are 2 ways to speed up the ripening process even more quickly.  

1. You can use a dehydrator

This gently warms up the banana making it ripen much more quickly.

1. Leave the skin on your banana and place on a dehydrator sheet. 
2. Dehydrate at 45C/115F for up to 24 hours.
3. Check your banana and feel how soft it is after 6 hours as that might be long enough depending on how yellow your banana was to start with.

2. You can use an oven

If you really can’t wait for a ripe banana and you’re not as concerned with lost nutrients, you can bake your banana in the oven.  

Being a raw foodist this is not something I would choose to do, but if I didn’t have any ripe fruit around me, I certainly would do this.  

1. Put your oven on the lowest temperature it goes to which might be around 77C/170F and place the unpeeled bananas on a nonslip baking mat.  
2. Bake for 20-30 minutes. The skin will go black.  
3. Check on them after 15 minutes to see if they are ripe enough.  
4. The banana will be mushy but they will be perfect for banana bread, banana pudding or a banana smoothie.

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
