3. Mango: The king of summer fruits. Just by looking at the skin, you can judge its freshness. If the skin is wrinkled, it means the mango is overripe. If the skin is smooth, it means the mango is delicious and fresh. Some mangoes also have light spots, but if it is not soft, bruised and has a fragrant smell, it means the mango is delicious.

4. Grapes: Grapes are a fruit that contains many antioxidants and is very beneficial for the body. Grapes are best from October to April. Grape bunches that are ripe and have a yellow-green color mean that the grapes are fresh and of good quality. Black grapes are dark purple.

5. Watermelon:Summer is the season of watermelons. The bigger and heavier the fruit, the better. You can tap the fruit to assess its juiciness. The tap should be deep, not loud. Pay attention to the firmness and the fact that the melon is not bruised.

6. Orange:One of the trickiest fruits to choose, even wrinkled oranges can be juicy. A smooth, bright skin indicates freshness, but most importantly, the orange should be heavy. Again, use your nose to judge freshness. Avoid oranges with dark brown spots or blemishes, as they may be spoiled.

7. Pineapple:Smell the tip of the pineapple (the part away from the leaves) if it has a characteristic pineapple aroma then it is a ripe pineapple. The pineapple may be yellow-green in color. Another thing to note is that a heavy pineapple will be juicy.
