Ready to eat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripe

'ready to eat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "At fruition" , "Ready (to be eaten or used)" , "Mature for eating like fruit" , "Mellow" , "'Fully grown, ready to be eaten (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror, The New York Times, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
