Eat Pineapple
It’s good you won’t regret it

But how do I know when it's ripe?

>>16279503
If it has mold, then you shouldn't pick it

>>16279503
What ya wanna get is lemons.

OP let me introduce you to a truly special exotic fruit very few have ever even heard of

What do you mean? You keep choosing rotten fruit? Check closely that they're good quality and nothing is crushed or looking strange or irregular. You can't go too wrong

It's summer time, eat some Watermelon.

This shit is super good. One of the best fruits I have ever eaten and I am a picky eater.

Bananas - at least brown spots

Mangoes - squeeze it and the dent should remain for a while

Apples -pretty much always good unless they're heavily bruised

Strawberries - if they look perfect it's not ripe, if it looks moldy it's trash

What do you mean? Do you suck at deciding what fruit to eat, or do you suck at picking good quality fruit? If the latter is what you mean, just buy fruit and you'll eventually learn what makes different kinds good. Mangoes, for instance, should be soft but not mushy. Oranges should be firm but not real hard. The colour can be indicative of quality as well but really this is something you should just find out by trial and error.

I knew about the yellow spot (darker is better), but other facets of a watermelon too? Did they examine hundred of population to concluded that or something.

Pinapple you go by smell, the sweeter they smell the better. Goes for most mellons aswell.
Some fruits go by touch, these can be tricky

but what's in season locally

>>16279503
Fruit is so fucking based, bros. What's your favorite fruits? I love mangoes, blackberries, and kiwis. Granny Smith apples too.

there isn't enough mexicans in hell, satan?

One thing most Americans ignore is smell. Smell the fruit. It should be fragrant. In conjunction with squeezing the fruit it should guide you on ripe fruit. Also buy fruit when its in season. If in the US, november to around may is citrus season. From may to august is stone fruit (may and june cherries). Apples are late summer fall fruits. Mangos from florida are ripe june- august. Watermelons are summer fruit.

if it starts eating your tongue away, then it's ripe.

>>16279503
Tropical fruits are always nice as they have a little tang. Fruits that are just sweet are okay but not the best.

Pineapple is 10/10.

Looks like a pawpaw crossed with avocado. What is it and how does it taste?

>>16279503
Smack things and use ears.
