How to use "Ripening" in context?

The process of ripening is an important attribute in the lifecycle of many fruits and vegetables. It is the natural process by which a fruit or vegetable becomes soft, juicy and astringent. ripening is typically characterized by a decrease in the fruit's firmness and an increase in the fruit's sensitivity to the touch.

The ambient air temperature and the fruit's genetics play a role in determining how quickly a fruit or vegetable will ripen. For instance, most cherries ripen within two months after being picked, while avocados will take up to six months to fully ripen. Temperature also has an impact.
