Useful tips on choosing ripe fruit
(The Christian Science Monitor)

3. Berries, including strawberries, are high-moisture fruits with a very short storage life. Refrigerate after purchase. Make sure they don't sit in their own juice. Leaving them in a closed plastic bag is their death sentence. They're best kept in layers between paper towels, covered by a moist paper towel, or in an open paper bag. Look for berries with a full, bright color. The smaller the size, the better the flavor.

4. Cantaloupe are usually sold quite firm. While some may be ripe, most have not yet reached their best stage. Ripen them for two to four days at room temperature. Avoid cantaloupe with softening over the rind.

5. Cherries should have lively green stems, a sign that they're still fresh. Cherries don't ripen off the tree, so refrigerate them and serve in a few days.

6. Grapes can be judged for freshness based on the condition of the stem. When the stems look like dried-up sticks, their harvest was in the distant past. Buy grapes that are firmly attached to nice green stems. Avoid soft or wrinkled grapes and those that are leaking (a sign of decay). They don't ripen after harvest, so refrigerate after purchase or serve soon.

7. Kiwis ripen well, but slowly, so buy them nearly a week before you use them. Buy them plump and firm but not rock hard. When kiwis yield to gentle pressure, they are ready. Once ripe, they spoil fast.

8. Oranges and other citrus fruits have great keeping qualities. Oranges are usually picked when ripe. Select fruit that is firm and evenly shaped. Skin color is not always a good guide to quality: Florida oranges can be slightly greenish; California oranges are usually a true orange. Small- to medium-size oranges tend to taste sweeter than larger ones. Keep citrus fruit chilled, and it will stay happy for weeks.

9. Peaches and nectarines ripen and spoil fast. Growers must ship them while they're hard. Make sure they have no soft brown spots, and ripen them for a few days. Once ripe, their shelf life is short, even when chilled. Buy in small quantities and eat quickly.

10. Pears should be purchased when they are firm, but they will ripen fast in your kitchen. When you feel a slight give as you gently squeeze them, they are ready to refrigerate or serve.

11. Pineapples don't ripen off the plant, so those picked green with little sugar development will remain tart and flavorless. Try to find pineapples that are bright yellow, not too hard, and have a sweet scent. Look for a plump, heavy fruit. Avoid ones that have a dull color, dry or brown leaves, or an overall dried appearance.

12. Plums can be delicious or bland, and a taste test is the best way to tell. Small plums tend to have better flavor. They have a short storage life, so buy them firm. They ripen in a few days in a paper bag on the kitchen counter.

13. Watermelons that produce a hollow sound when thumped are best. Turn the melon until you find a light spot where it sat on the ground. If yellow, the melon is ripe, if white, leave it behind. Once cut or ripened, watermelon should be refrigerated and eaten within a few days.
