Is there a way to know if a fruit is ripe?
assistant
Yes, there are several ways to tell if a fruit is ripe. One method is to gently squeeze the fruit and check for firmness. Another method is to smell the fruit. If it has a sweet aroma, it's likely ready to be picked. A third method is to cut into the fruit with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. If the flesh is tender and yields to gentle pressure, the fruit is ripe.
