Fruit firmness is considered one of the most accurate ways to test for a fruit maturity and quality. By measuring a fruit's firmness you can make decisions about when to harvest, which fruits seeds to breed, can make decisions on which fruits to export or transport and for example which fruits should be processed and which fruits should be sold fresh.

 

Fruit penetrometers are widely used by universities for fruit research and by fruit companies to make important business decisions. Please check with your local university extension office to find out what firmness levels are optimum for your growing climate.
