The farther fruits and vegetables have to travel, the less tree-ripening they are allowed, in order to be "ripe" in store bins. Try to see if you have any farmers' market close to home. You'll get your ounce and half back, I'm sure. Here's one that not too far, in Port St. Lucie: http://www.ftpiercefarmersmarket.com/index.html ...edited for spelling error...
