I think the best you can do is look for uniformly colored skins and make
sure there are no dry brown withery spots (for on the other side is sure to
be a woddy, fibrous stalk), and no mushy spots. Buy them when they're still
a little firm and let them ripen at home, since there's less likely to be
any bruising that way that causes the aforementioned afflictions. You don't
have to get them rock hard, but firm, with just a slight give at the stem
end.
