How can I determine if an apple is ripe?
assistant
To determine if an apple is ripe, you should check for a few things. First, look at the color of the skin. If it's a light green or yellow, then it's probably not ripe yet. Next, feel the texture of the fruit; if it feels soft and squishy, then it may be ready to eat. Finally, smell the apple - if it has a sweet, fruity aroma, then it's likely ripe.
