I go with sniffing the bot, er, stem end (I remembered where I am!) - you want fresh and sweet smelling and not fermented or otherwise icky, then feeling that it's heavy for its size a la citrus fruit, then tugging a bit on a leaf or two. for color, it's when they're starting to be yellow from the bottom up (some can be ripe with some green color) and with nice green leaves.

edited because I write gud.

YES!!! If you don't have to tug a bit - it's likely over ripe! Nmb b! - JenBro May 10, 19:34 2
