At home refrigerate in a shal

Avoid a strong yellow-colored
rind, a softening over the entire
rind, or mold growth, particularly
in the stem scar.
At home if the cantaloupe isn’t
ready to eat store it at room tem
perature. The longer it sits out, the
softer and juicier it becomes. Re

aroma, and a yellowish white to
creamy rind color.
Avoid melons with large water
soaked bruised areas to indicate
injury. Cuts or punctures in the
rind can lead to decay.
At home after they have rip
ened, keep in the refrigerator.
They will last about a week.
Nectarines: Look for rich color,
plumpness, and a slight softening
along the ridge that runs down one
side of the fruits. Most nectarines
are orange-yellow between the red
areas.
Avoid hard, dull, slightly shri
veled or soft fruit with cracked
skin.
At home ripen at room tempera
ture in a paper bag, and then re
frigerate.
Peaches: Look for fruit that is
fairly firm or a little soft The skin
between the red areas should be
yellow or at least a little creamy.
Avoid hard fruit with a distinct
green color which probably won’t
ripen.
At home ripen in a paper bag at
room temperature and then refrig
erate.
Pears: Look for fruit that has
begun to soften.
Avoid wilted or shriveled pears

slight withering of the flesh near

At home ripen at room tempera
ture in a paper bag. If a pear yields
to gentle pressure near the seam
and side, it’s ready to eat
Strawberries: Look for berries
with a full red color and bright lus
ter, firm flesh and the cap stem
still attached. Medium to small
strawberries usually taste better
than larger ones.
Avoid fruit with large uncol
ored or seedy areas, a shrunken
look or softness or mold which
can spread rapidly from one berry
to another.
At home refrigerate, and keep
berries dry. Wash just before serv
ing.
Watermelons: Look for firm
juicy flesh with good red color and
dark brown or black seeds (whit
ish seeds mean the melon is imma
ture). With uncut melon look for a
smooth, slightly dull surface. The
ends should be filled out and
rounded and the belly (the under
side that rests on the ground)
should have a creamy color.
Avoid pale-covered flesh, white
streaks, whitish seeds, dry mealy
flesh or watery stringy flesh.
