<human>: How do I know if a particular fruit is ripe?
<bot>: To determine whether or not a particular fruit is ripe, you should look for certain signs. These include the color of the skin and flesh, the texture, and the smell. If the skin appears dull in color and the texture is soft to the touch, it's likely that the fruit is ripe. You can also check the smell - if it has a sweet fragrance, it is probably ready to be picked.
