WHY does an unripe fruit get ripe? Since it produces its own ripening hormone without the involvement of the mother plant Ripening of fruits and vegetables is driven by ethylene. This natural plant hormone was discovered in 1912 by Russian botanist Dmitri Nelyubov. Since the gas is produced by the fruit itself, the fruit does not need to hang on the branch. The plucked fruit can ripen even faster than the unplucked, since the release of ethylene increases with a lack of moisture. And if you put at least one ripe fruit or vegetable among unripe ones, it will ripen even faster - it produces more ethylene than the unripe fruit.
