Could anyone tell me when zucchinis, cucumbers, tomatoes are ripe? Should you put them in a paper bag to ripen? Should I treat them as if they are bananas and papayas? How about other fruits and vegetables that need to be ripened? Are there any other? Navid Re: ripeness of fruits of vegetables

I've been avoiding the bend-ey ones all my life. I guess I've never had a really ripe zucchini! well blow me down! Maybe that's why they've never been one of my favorites. khale Re: ripeness of fruits of vegetables
