What to do when you cut open a non-ripe fruit?

I've cut open cantelope and avocado that are half ripe and just thrown them away.

Do you think I could somehow continue to ripen fruit that have been cut open?

What do you all do to make sure your fruit is ripe? Put them in a paper bag overnight even if you think they are ripe?

Thanks!

An avocado can be closed and it will continue to ripen. Sometimes the cut skin will even heal after you've cut the avo in half. As for the cantaloup, I have never tried to ripen a cut one.

That is such a good question! I didn't know that avocados would continue to ripen....

That's real interesting about the avocado healing, you'd think it was like . . . ALIVE . . . or something. Wow, that's something I never considered before. I always thought that once it was picked and cut off from the plant the sap stopped flowing. I'll have to try it next time. Thanks!
