In Botany
the term mature describe a fully developed
fruit, that has reached a
ripe condition.
Ripening or maturation is a process in
fruit that causes them to become more edible. In general, fruits get
sweeter, less acidic, less green and
softer as they ripen.
After a process known as
pollination the petals of the
flower fall off , the
ovary begins to expand and the
ovule begins to develops into a
seed. The ovary eventually comes to
form, along with other parts of the flower in many cases, a
structure surrounding the seed or
seeds that is the fruit. For a more detailed explanation see:
