The Time is Ripe
Early harvest pears have arrived!
Kiddo loves pears but they always arrive less than ripe from the store. As a science experiment we put several pears in a bag with an apple and labeled it with the date. We then left some pears out on the counter to see which ripened faster. Kiddo thought that the pears in the bag ripened one day sooner than those on the the counter. But I can't say I saw a difference. In any case, he gobbled them up.

My mom always put bananas in a bag to ripen like this!
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today - never heard of ripening pears in a bag before!
ReplyDeleteI love to see your ideas!
ReplyDeleteYaa I always keep the apples away from the bananas b/c they ripen them too quickly before we can eat them!
