The secret to perfect ripeness
Unlike many other fruits, color isn’t the best indicator of ripeness. Instead, look for sweet aroma and a slight give when gently pressed near the stem. If your fruit is still firm, let it ripen on the counter for a day or two. Once ripe, refrigerate it to keep it fresh until you’re ready to enjoy.
