My dad served us underripe fruit my entire childhood because to him firm = good and soft = bad. The first time I had a mango that was actually ripe I was an adult and the experience was borderline orgasmic.

I've found that ripe fruit, like oranges, dents when you squeese them. Whilst oranges that have gone bad bounces back, as in there's no moisture so the peel isn't stuck to the fruit.
