The essence of their outer skin? It's tenderness?

They're no longer green?

Limes would probably be a better example. I don't know what color they are when growing.

Ah, I'll try that. I saw some oranges on the ground yesterday but the gardeners must have taken them. I'll test out the next one.

If they fall, they are over-ripe.

If you can pick them with a gentle tug, they are ready.
