From tomatoes to small fruits: how to measure firmness
Small fruits such as blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and tomatoes: measuring their firmness is essential to assess the right harvesting time. "As the products are sold at a considerable price per kg, they must reach the market at the right ripening stage to please consumers. Firmness is an important quality indicator, as most consumers appreciate crunchiness," explains Enrico Turoni
