Mature, ready to eat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripe

I believe this is a double definition.

'mature' is the first definition.
(I know that mature can be written as ripe)

'ready to eat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "Mellow" , "Right" , "Mature and ready to be eaten" , "At fruition" , "Opportune" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
