Is it okay to eat a piece of fruit that is slightly ripe?

It depends on the type of fruit. Ripe fruits are generally softer and juicier than unripe ones, so if you're going to eat them, it's best to wait until they're fully ripe. If you're unsure whether or not a particular fruit is ripe, it's always safer to err on the side of caution and avoid eating it until you're sure.
