Become edible (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripen

'become edible' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ripen that I've seen before include "Become ready to pick" , "Make ready" , "Grow older" , "Become ready to harvest" , "Become mature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The Mirror.
