WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RIPE PRODUCE
Tomatoes: the first way to tell if your tomato is ripe is to check if the skin has
turned from a dull, matte surface to one that is glossy and slightly shiny. Next,
check the color, which should be fairly deep red. Your ripe tomato will give
slightly to the touch. It shouldnโt be soft but rather a little tender, tomatoes ripen
from the inside out. Tomatoes that are not ripe will feel hard to the touch. A ripe
tomato gives off a lovely fragrance as well. If you receive under ripe tomatoes
they should be stored in the dry store in a crate to ripen before using. You would
need a rotation system to facilitate this. Best practise would be to ask your green
grocer to keep tomatoes and ripen them on your behalf.
Cucumbers: The best cucumbers are hard and dark green , a soft cucumber is
old and not suitable for our kitchens.
Carrots: Ripe carrots should possess a tender texture that is firm and tender, not
soft, limp or chewy . Fresh carrots have a distinct orange colour and when wet
the colour is shiny. Old carrots are dull and when wet remain grey and dull.
Zucchini: Ripe zucchini is dark green in colour, without blemishes. The zucchini is
firm and when cut open a buttery texture. Old zucchini becomes lighter in colour,
is limp and spongy when cut open. A fairly good size for use in our kitchens is
around 10 cm or more, tiny zucchini is not an option.
Green Peppers: A unripe red pepper is a green pepper, a fresh pepper is firm to
the touch , crunchy when cut and not soft and limp. Peppers can also turn soft
and slimy if not stored correctly.
Green Chillies: All Green chillies grow from green, the colour matures into dark
green, red or yellow when they are ripe.
