overripe fruit
RRM, often i buy perfectly ripe mangoes so i can eat them when i get home. Sometimes they go overripe, but not overripe to the point of decay/bad smell or even colour change (darker colour). They are just VERY soft and have that taste of overripeness. Can u explain a bit about overripe fruit, the chemicals it contains, can this cause sickness or anything? thanks
Now that it is summer and warmer and bit more humid, would it be a good idea to leave my oranges outside in order for them to ripen faster? Leaving them inside, it takes a week before they are ripe/overripe enough to juice and I was thinking that the warmer weather could only help them mature a little faster.
Also RRM,
I like to buy the oranges a few days in advance before juicing them, but now I've found that in order to make sure they really ripe/overripe I need to buy them a week in advance. Do you have some sort of 'game plan' for buying oranges?

Indeed, bananas release ethylene, which speeds ripening.Cairidh wrote:bananas release thingies that make fruit ripen quicker
I think this is a marvellous idea... sun-ripened oranges indeed. Regarding your 'game plan' for buying oranges, I buy a case of oranges every week, to use the following week. Sometimes I even buy them ten days in advance, especially if the oranges are large and don't seem too juicy inside. Ten days works miracles... I can almost smell the orange fragrance in the mornings!nick wrote:would it be a good idea to leave my oranges outside in order for them to ripen faster
Aw Cairidh that's too bad!
I guess the reason why people make such an issue about it because they are more used to the smell of cooked/dead foods rather than the sweet scent of fruits. I remember that before being on this diet, the smell of apples, oranges, and (especially) durians, made me feel nauseated but the smell of cooked food attracted me. But is it a total opposite now!
And Cairidh, if I were to be in that same building with you, I'd come up to you and we'll have an orange picnic together!

Now I see!

http://www.save-the-elephants.org/Eleph ... phants.htmPrimate ancestors of Homo sapiens were highly dependent on fruit, and so, the new theory goes, they developed a strong attraction to the ethanol that
naturally spikes lusciously ripe and overripe fruits. This predilection was
then passed on to humans.
