Was that a serious question? Try pressing them. Soft = ripe. In the case of melons and similar stuff, press on the end opposite the stalk. Scent also helps (and I can tell from the far side of the room that the peaches in my fruit bowl are now ripe).
Still, that's the RW, and maybe Glorantha is less cooperative. The alternative explanation is "primitive people were stupid", and that's not one I'm ever going to accept.
