Fruity

I figured since we're in the season of yummy fruit, I'd share a little tidbit about fruit.

Fruits that ripen AFTER picking:
Bananas
Melons
Kiwi
Papaya
Pears

Try to eat as close to picking: Stone fruit (apricots, plums, nectarines, peaches, etc)

Fruits that DON'T ripen after picking:
Apples
Grapefruit
Pineapple
Lemons
Limes
Oranges
Tangerines
Watermelon

*smell is the best indicator when something is ripe.

*ripe stone fruit should smell like the fruit they are, they also give slightly.

*color: deeper, more intense color the better the fruit.
