I've always been curious, but based on your description I need to try them! I know of a large tree on a trail I hike, but the only way I'll get one from there is by them falling on their own. They are always really squishy when I do come across one, so I've never been brave enough to take a taste. How do you know they are good or ripe?

The softer they are, the more ripe they are. Outwards, they may have a spot of browning towards the overripe end like a banana. The ones that I usually go for are green with a slight give.
