You can trust that fresh fruit delivered from Hale Groves is the freshest possible \u2013 but how can you be sure? And what about fruit you\u2019ve obtained elsewhere? How to Tell if Your Fresh Fruit Gift is Really Fresh You might think it takes a discerning eye to determine if fruits, but it\u2019s actually quite easy. Here are four ways to tell how fresh and ripe your fruit is: The weight of the individual fruits. As they ripen and become juicer, fruits become heavier. Fruits become heavier over time as they ripen and become juicier. If you\u2019ve received a gift shipment of our famous Ruby Red Grapefruit, for instance, you can tell how fresh it is as soon as you pick it up \u2013 each plump, busting-with-sweet-juice grapefruit will make a pleasant weight in your palm. You can actually feel the freshness! The fragrance of fresh fruit. Do you have a sensitive sniffer? You won\u2019t need one with a perfectly ripe fruit, but go ahead and take a whiff of your fresh gifts, making sure to concentrate on the stem end. That \u201cperfectly ripe\u201d scent is unmistakable, especially in very juicy fruits like our Honey-Sweet Tangerines (which may even smell a tiny bit musty when they\u2019re just right). Watch out for a vinegary smell, which indicates a fruit that\u2019s overripe. The firmness of the fruit. If the fruit is very firm, it\u2019s probably not ripe \u2013 ripe fruit should \u201cgive\u201d when gently squeezed, and should even a bit squishy. Unlike most of our fruit, though, keep in mind that fresh pears delivered from Hale Groves won\u2019t arrive perfectly ripe \u2013 pears ripen best off the tree, so you may need to wait a day or two to enjoy them at their best. The color of a fresh fruit. Typically, unripe fruit is green with a tinge of white. When it begins to ripen, fruit changes in color and becomes a brighter hue like red, orange, or yellow. Keep in mind, however, that this doesn\u2019t always apply \u2013 for instance, the peels of an orange (like our Grove Navel Oranges) can have green spots but still be perfectly ripe and fresh. Some Final Thoughts Once you peel or bite into a fruit, the ripening process will come to a stop, so make sure you have a pretty good sense of their freshness before digging in. When it comes to Hale Groves fruit, it\u2019s even easier \u2013 your fruit is still sweetening on the tree when you place your order, so it\u2019s always as fresh as possible!
