Ever noticed how that banana on your counter goes from green to brown in what feels like milliseconds? That's nothing compared to the TURBO RIPENING that happens with ethylene! This plant hormone is basically the Flash of fruit maturation - it triggers a cascade of enzymatic reactions that accelerate ripening faster than you can say "guacamole." Commercial growers literally spray ethylene gas to force-ripen fruits for market, turning your produce from rock-hard to mushy overnight. Nature's chemical speedster making regular ripening look like it's moving in slow motion!
