whoops! How do i quickly ripen a green passionfruit?
After stuffing my face full with half a dozen homegrown Nelly Kelly
passionfruit tonight I decided 6 just wasnt enough, so I went out the back again in the dark, and accidentally picked off one that was green. I have a feeling it wouldve started turning purple in the next few days anyway as its quite large, but at the moment its green all over. Im just wondering if anybody has any tips that might help ripen it up to the point where I can eat it ... for example should i leave it outside in full sun or shaded or ... ? Thanks |

Responses to Ethylene
Exposure of mature-green passion fruits to 100 ppm ethylene for 1-2 days accelerates their ripening. Once ripening begins exogenous ethylene treatment is unnecessary because the fruits produce high ethylene concentrations. Putting them in a brown bag with ripe bananas or ripened passion fruit (skins?) will accelerate the ripening at home. "Dave -Turner" wrote in message . au...

I do however have the leftover skins from last nights pigout so i'll try sitting them in a plastic bag in the sun (partial shade -- exactly where the passionfruit vine is) Cheers! |

A brown paper bag would be preferable, and yes, re skins, that may work too.... |

That works for other fruits too.
