Yes, there are ways to tell if a fruit is ripe without a ripe smell. One way is by examining the color of the fruit and comparing it to the color on a chart that indicates how ripe the fruit is. Another method is to gently squeeze the fruit; if it yields slightly to your touch, then it’s probably ripe. Additionally, you can also check for any changes in texture such as softening or wrinkling.
