- As it leaves us
- Mature and still firm, the segments swelling apart and paling to yellow-green. The bumps spread apart and show creamy yellow between them, and the fruit gives all over under gentle pressure. If it starts to split, it is ripe: eat it.
- At home
- On the counter until it softens, usually two to four days, then in the fridge for a day or two at most.
