总是烦恼挑不到香甜美味的水果蔬菜?番茄还没熟透?茄子又过熟了?西瓜水分不够多也不够甜?现在就来看看小编搜集的12个绝招，包你挑到最好的水果蔬菜!

There's nothing worse than cutting into freshly-bought fruit only to find that it's brown, bruised and just can't be used. It's the saddest kind of surprise. Even worse than the disappointment though, is that it puts you, the cook, in a tough predicament. Without ripe fruit you can't make that guacamole recipe -- yes, avocado is technically a fruit -- or that stone fruit cobbler. Now what?

切开刚买的水果，才发现里面已经发黄了、被撞淤了，或者直接就不能吃了。这样可真是有惊没有喜啊。比失望更遭的是，想要一展厨艺的你陷入了巧妇难为无米之炊的窘境。没有熟的水果你就做不了牛油果沙拉(对，严格来说牛油果也是一种水果)或者核桃馅饼了。那现在该怎么办呢?

Luckily, not-so-optimal produce is an easy problem to solve -- you just need to know what to look for. Some fruit lets you know they're ripe based on color; with others, its all about touch. Here are 12 tricks to help you sort it all out.

还好，挑到上好的水果并不是件难事——你只需要知道你要找什么样的。有一些水果看颜色就能知道熟不熟，其它的摸一摸就能判断。这里有12个小窍门，能够帮你解决这个问题。

When it comes to pineapple, look for a golden color and sweet scent.

挑菠萝要挑颜色金黄、气味香甜的。

The first sign of a pineapple's ripeness is its color. It should be golden-brown, without much green color left at the base. A sweet smell also indicates this fruit's ripeness. If a pineapple doesn't give off a scent, it's not quite ripe yet. If it smells a tad vinegary, it's overripe.

菠萝成熟的第一个标志就是颜色。成熟的菠萝应该是金褐色的，不会带有很多绿色。香甜的气味同样标志着菠萝的成熟。如果你没有闻到香味，那这个菠萝就不是很熟。如果闻起来有点酸，那它就是熟过头了。

【小编有话说】想起一个段子，A男人嘲讽B男人：“你就是一芒果，里面是黄的，外面也是黄的。”B男人很淡定的瞟了一眼A男人：“你就是一菠萝，里面是黄的，外面也是黄的，头上还是绿的!”

Mangos will give slightly to the touch when ready to eat.

芒果熟了，用手按一下会微微凹下去。

The color of a mango is not indicative of ripeness. The only way to know when a mango is ready to eat is by touch. If it gives slightly when touched, it's ready. Sometimes the mango will also give off a fruity aroma at its stem end when ripe.

看颜色不能判断芒果熟不熟。要判断芒果什么时候可以吃，唯一的方法是用手按。如果它会微微地凹下去，那它就已经熟了。有时候成熟芒果的蒂也会散发出香味。

Strawberries will always smell as good as they taste.

成熟的草莓闻起来跟吃起来一样香甜。

You can tell a strawberry is ripe by its scent -- it should smell exactly like you want it to taste. If they don't smell like anything, they probably doesn't taste like much. They should also be bright red and free of blemishes.

闻草莓的香气你就能判断它熟不熟——你希望它尝起来是什么味道，它闻起来就应该是什么味道。如果它闻起来不太好吃，那它尝起来也不会好吃。好的草莓还应该是鲜红色的，而且不能有疤痕。

The ripest honeydews are golden in color.

成熟的甜瓜是金黄色的。

Unlike cantaloupe, you can tell a honeydew melon is ripe by the appearance of its skin. It should be waxy and smooth with a golden -- not yellow -- color.

不像哈密瓜，甜瓜皮的颜色就能告诉你它熟不熟。它应该要像涂了蜡一样光滑，颜色金黄(不是黄色)。
