Squeeze the limes in your palm. Limes are ready to pick when they give slightly under gentle pressure. A lime that is still hard is not yet ripe and won't be juicy. Pick one lime, cut into it and sample its fruit. If the lime feels heavy for its size and the fruit inside tastes fresh and acidic, it is ready to be eaten.
Answer Wiki. The most effective to tell if fresh figs are ripe is to note how they hang from the tree. Ripe and ready-to-pick figs hang down, almost as if they're ready to drop from their weight (droopy), have dewy skin from the nectar and will possibly have small tears in the skin, and are soft to the touch (think peaches).
