追熟は難しい。 Ripening after harvesting is difficult.

 

　前回パパイヤの追熟がうまくゆきおいしいパパイヤを食べました。

今回の追熟でパパイヤは先端がいたみ全体が黄色くなりません。

でも実は弾力があります。

 Last time, the papaya ripened successfully, and I ate a delicious one.
This time, the tip of the papaya was damaged, and the entire peel didn't turn yellow.
However, the peel, which is a mix of yellow and green, has become soft and elastic.

　先端を切ってみました。

実は熟れていました。

果皮が黄色くならなくても実に弾力がでれば熟れて食べごろなんですね。

追熟でよい事を教えてもtらいました。

 I cut off the tip.
The flesh was ripe.
Even if the skin doesn't turn yellow, if it becomes elastic, it's ripe and ready to eat.
I learned something good from this ripening process.
