The  FT 327 Penetrometer is ideal for apples, avocados, pears, peaches, kiwi, and tomatoes. Harvesters and ripening professionals depend on this firmness tester in testing its maturity, together with measuring the fruits sugar content using refractometers. Handheld penetrometers are ideal for on-the-go ripeners measuring fruit firmness in the field or in the lab!
