1, natural placement method
Papaya itself is a kind of fruit that ripens easily. In the process of ripening, ethylene will be released to accelerate the ripening. Therefore, if you are not in a hurry to eat, you can put the bought papaya in a dry and ventilated environment. Generally, it will turn yellow and the pulp will become soft after 2-3 days.
2. Direct sunlight method
Higher temperature environment is beneficial to the rapid ripening of papaya. Therefore, if the papaya bought back is immature, it can be placed in the sun, and the sun can make the papaya mature faster.
3, fruit ripening method
Ripe fruits release a gas called ethylene, which can accelerate the ripening of papaya. Therefore, when papaya is ripened, it can be put into fresh-keeping bags or cartons, and then ripe bananas, apples, pears and other fruits can be added, and ethylene released by these fruits can be used to ripen papaya.
4. Rice ripening method
Burying immature papaya in rice can also make papaya mature quickly. This is because papaya will release ethylene during the ripening process, and the heat generated by papaya in the rice pile will also raise the surrounding temperature.
5, microwave oven ripening method
If you want to eat papaya in a shorter time, you might as well use microwave oven to ripen it, but this method is more suitable for papaya with higher maturity. Put papaya in the microwave oven and heat it with medium-low heat. Usually it can be taken out in about 30 seconds. At this time, you will find that papaya has become soft.
