I have come to find that a lot of fruit that is either picked too early usually does not have much taste yet because it hasn't had time to develop fully. Now I also noticed that a lot of the time old fruit tends to lack taste as well. I think the reason for this is it loses a lot of its flavor the older it gets. So its best to purchase fruit when in season. Always ask someone in produce to help you pick out the right kinds of fruit, they know whats ripe and whats too ripe.
