Cantalope a.k.a. Muskmelon: look for light color gold color between the webbing of the rind. Also choose one that is heavy for it's size.

Pinapple: for a whole pinapple (not cut) look for bright green leaves on top.

Watermelon: for a whole watermelon you want it heavy for it's size. Look for a yellow spot on the melon, this is where the melon rested on the ground and it indicates that it was ripe when it was picked.

Corn on the Cob: look for plump kernels and eat the day you purchase.

Tomatoes: you want deep color and smooth skin. Beware of stores that try to make their tomotoes look rip.

Zucchini: pick small ones that are firm all over.
