How do I know if a particular fruit is ripe?
assistant
To determine whether a particular fruit is ripe, you can check the color of the skin. If it's a deep orange or red, it is likely to be ripe. You can also smell and feel the texture of the fruit to get an idea of its ripeness. Lastly, you can look for any signs of softening, such as wrinkling or dimpling, which are indicators that the fruit is ready to harvest.
