2. Fruits that are 70% to 80% ripe: Fruits that are 70% to 80% ripe have beautiful surfaces but are dull and hard to the touch, making them suitable for long-distance transportation. The flesh inside is loose and feels dry. This is what we see in the market. It can be eaten raw, but the taste is not good.

3. Ripe fruit: The ripe fruit is plump in appearance, slightly softer to the touch, and has cracks on the surface. The taste is somewhat crisp, the flesh is shiny but not runny. It will become very soft after a while. It can be eaten raw or made into jam.
