How to pick: Smells sweet at the base and feels heavy. A leaf from the center should pull out with a light tug.
Ripening at home: Does not get sweeter after picking. Buy one that already smells sweet.
How to store: Eat within 2 days on the counter, or up to 5 days in the fridge.
Try this: Grill slices until caramelized, or dice into a salsa.
