5 Tips To Pick Fresh Fruits From Market

Here are some useful tips to identify and buy good quality fruits from the market

 Check for bruises

Some fruits can have signs of damage that are identified with bruises or spots. Do not buy the fruit if it has bruises

Check the colour

Opt for bright-coloured fruits as the ripeness of the fruit is often determined by its colour. When the fruit ripens, the chlorophyll layer diminishes and the bright colour of the fruit appears

Smell the fruit

Every fruit has its distinctive smell. If the smell of the fruit is unpleasant then do not add it to your basket

Compare the price

Fruits are sold at a range of prices in the market. Compare the price and select the best produce. Often, stale and mushy fruits are sold at cheaper rates than firm and good-quality produce

Feel the texture

Gently press the fruit using your thumb to assess the firmness and ripeness of the fruit
