Do oranges ripen fast in dark?

It depends on whether the orange is picked or not. An orange does not continue to ripen after being picked. You might have heard they ripen quicker in the dark because in tropical areas it takes a cool night for the vivid color to set in. However, the oranges color does not always indicate its ripeness. For instance, most Florida oranges are dyed in order to enhance their appeal to consumers.
