Claim 21:
22. A method comprising:
housing, in a plurality of banana containers, unpeeled bananas, each banana container having a first container end to receive an unpeeled banana and a second container end;
dispensing, by a gas generator connected to the plurality of banana containers, a ripening gas into corresponding banana containers at different flow rates, the gas generator including a plurality of gas meters having a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of banana containers, a corresponding meter connected to the second container end of a corresponding banana container to dispense a corresponding amount of ripening gas into the corresponding banana container, wherein the gas generator comprises a compartment having a first compartment end and a second compartment end, a gas dispensing regulator at the second compartment end, the gas dispensing regulator including the plurality of gas meters, and a removable cap device coupled to the first compartment end to selectively replenish the ripening gas in the compartment;
removing the cap device from the first compartment end;
adding a gas generating material to the compartment;
activating the gas generating material in the compartment to generate the ripening gas; placing the cap device on the first compartment end; and
ripening each unpeeled banana in each corresponding banana container in response to the corresponding amount of the ripening gas dispensed.
