Produce Fresh Fruit and vegetables are agricultural products known as produce. ***Mature fruits have reached their full size and color. ***When a mature fruit reaches it’s peak of flavor and it’s ready to eat, it becomes a ripe fruit. ***When a mature fruit is picked, it may be ripe or underripe. ***Underripe fruits are picked before peak flavor and shipped. They ripen while en route to us.
