How can I tell if a berry is ripe?
assistant
The best way to tell if a berry is ripe is by checking for the color of the berry. Ripe berries should be slightly soft and have an even color throughout, while underripe or unripe berries will have a dull or uneven color. You can also check for a sweet smell coming from the berry. If it has a pleasant aroma, then the berry is likely ripe.
