    It also matters where you live, to a point. Living far away from producers means you get fruit that was picked very green, with no ripening on the plant. Even after shelf ripening, the flavor profile will be milder compared to a plant ripened fruit.

      Not to mention some fruit don’t even ripen on the shelf. Pineapple, iirc, is one of those, it just starts fermenting.
