Ready to eat, as fruit (4)

I believe the answer is:
ripe
'ready to eat as fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "green? No!" , "Mature, ready for harvesting" , "Ready (to be eaten or used)" , "Mature, ready to eat" , "Mature for eating like fruit" .)
