Best Answer

Non-climacteric fruit is fruit that does not ripen after harvest. All fruits and many vegetables and nuts are classified as either climacteric or non-climacteric. Climacteric fruits will ripen, i.e. get softer and sweeter after harvest. Non-climacteric fruits, once harvested, never ripen further. The biochemical process involved is that climacteric fruits give off large amounts of ethylene gas whereas non-climacteric fruits give little or no ethylene gas.

Some examples of climacteric fruits are apples, apricots, avocados, bananas, blackberries, kiwi, plums, peaches, Pears, tomatoes.

Examples of non-climacteric fruits are citrus, grapes, cherries, raspberries, strawberries and cashews.

These are just a few examples. There are many more fruits in both categories.
