“When the produce guy isn’t looking” lmaooo he’s a real one
If he sees you: "why are you runnin?"
I was just thinking that! Haha
Lol
As a produce guy…at least give it to someone to throw away!
I'm pretty sure this guy works in the produce section of every grocery store ever
😭😭😭😭😭❗
lol ive seen him at my store!
this guy pulls up to random stores to tell people the best ripened fruits
I swore he looked familiar!!
Here's how I test and it has never failed me:
-First, I smell the bottom. If it smells like pineapple, we're on the right track.
-Second, I wiggle a leaf around the middle of the scraggle, and if it comes out easily or feels like a loose wiggly tooth, It's ready to go! I look at color third. I've had luck with anything from half-yellow-half-green to golden colored all over and had good results. But I have also gotten a few over-ripe golden ones. I wouldn't have left that one for a week. Maybe 4 days.
Golden ones are actually the ripe ones, and dont burn the living shit out of your mouth either
I read that on an article about smelling the pineapple after I googled "How to tell a good pineapple from a bad one". It stated: If you put a pineapple at your nose and smell its natural scent, then it is good to pick. I tried this golden rule and picked out a nice smelly pinepple and cut it home. To my surprise, the taste was sweet, yet mild and juicy.
Thanks. I just learned a lot more from you than I did this zero information video.
@@h0rcrux774 try finding an actual golden pineapple in a store. Try letting a grocery store pineapple ripen before the bottom rots. Can't do it. Unless you buy $7 pineapples from the bougie store or get really lucky.
I was told to grab one leaf near the center of the crown and pull. If it comes out easily it's ready to eat.
i work in a produce department and ever since i started there i have been having to explain that you can tell the ripeness of a pineapple by looking at it. you can't tell it's condition which is another thing entirely, but you can tell it's development. i always see people grabbing the green ones and when i talk to them they plan to eat it that day. i have to explain that they want this other golden even a little brown one, that it will be sweeter and excellent. i have people coming back with complements all the time. i would love to share this video with them but you encouraged them to do something behind my back, so i'll just subscribe *wink*
yep i always go for the gold or at least half gold if thas all they have, and i let it set for a few days and then juice it!! the best!!
@@TheodoreBakes I have a weakness for pineapple. I could eat the entire thing while I'm chopping it up if I'm not careful 😂🤦.
If I twist d crown of pineapple before taking it to cashier ...he will twist my crown.
Priceless!

LOL!!!
Tough neighborhood, eh?

they can't make you purchase an inedible part of the fruit. if corn is selling by the pound, I shuck before I pay, it holds a lot of moisture. just give out a shot, all they could do is say no, then tell them what I said about it not being edible. stand up for yourself. Good luck :)
I grew some and I live in Maryland yes its in a pot and took over 3 years to produce a fruit. I used the biggest pot I could find because they get really huge, and of course I moved it indoors when the temp gets below 55F. They take up a lot of space I had 4 growing at one time but they really spread out so I cut it down to 2, & be careful when you move them around because they stab you , wear safety goggles! they need plentiful sunshine and in the darker months you need to use grow lights
I live in the UK. I grew a pineapple from a shop bought pineapple crown. It has taken over two years but now has a healthy fruit growing. I can only leave outside June to October but my kitchen is bright as we have two large roof windows. I repotted once as it out grew its first pot. Summer daytime temps here average around 22-24C. To be honest i am amazed it has grown so as it spends 6-7 months a year in the kitchen and we don't get much sunlight from November to March.
Goggles😂
NEVER take off the stem! It encourages ROT and it will RIPEN better and stay longer WITH the crown
Pineapples DO NOT RIPEN after they are picked. I agree, do not pull the crown off, and refrigerating kills the flavor, much like tomatoes.
Fuck I just took off the crown, wish I read this before
@@michaellibera3746 that’s ridiculous. All fruits ripen after they are picked.
@@michaellibera3746 does refrigerating tomatoes make them more sweet? I have found that if I make a chopped cucumber salad with tomatoes in it, it gets too sweet by the 2-3rd day.
@@michaellibera3746 Most fruits (and vegetables with similar properties) ripen after being picked, with some, like avocados, benefiting significantly from this process. I am currently experimenting with two pineapple heads-one with the crown and one without-both turned upside down. After almost a week, both fruits seem to be ripening similarly. The one without the crown shows no signs of rotting and is easier to turn upside down. However, I suggest using a plate or container under the pineapples to catch any potential juice leakage. Although I haven't encountered this issue so far, it's better to be safe than sorry. In about two days, I will conduct a taste test to determine which one is sweeter and not rotten.
so much conflicting things ion the internet, the Hawaiian Crown Pineapple company says once Pineapples are picked they stop ripening. so the best thing to do is just to choose a pineapple at a store that has a healthy golden color to it, not dried up leaves
I found that a lot of people don't eat ripe fruit, or know what it's supposed to taste like and they end up not eating it because they say it doesn't taste good. But the reality is that it wasn't eaten at it's sweetness!! You had a perfect example of when I open my pineapples, it's usually that drabby looking pineapple, is the one at its sweetness. I love pineapples and cantaloupes right now. Most fruits in the stores should not be eaten right away, should be placed in a cupboard or on the counter for several days to sometimes a week for its sweetness to come through.
I tried the tip about twisting off the top of the pineapple and placing it upside down to speed ripening. It works! It ripened twice as fast as it did with the top on right side up. : )
Ty! I’ve been obsessing over pineapples for months and this video really helped
Great tips! Thank you so much for being effective and efficient. :) continue the fantastic work!
"and when the produce guys not looking" LOL
My parents grow pineapples in their garden, and they always turn out delicious! They live in central Florida :)
Much appreciated! thank you, for these, rare & unusual pointers.
This is exactly what im looking for. This guy knows what is up!
Great info - Thank you!
Thank You for that tip. Believe it or not I started growing a pine apple plant in my own yard here in Florida. It actually grew a nice pineapple. I wasn't really sure when the best time to harvest it would be though. It is turning nice and yellow on most of it except one side. I harvested it last week. I just twisted the top off and going to turn it upside down for more ripeness and sweetness. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing and the tip. This was so helpful!
Great tips - looking forward to learning how to break it down - thank you :)
I used to work in the produce department at a grocery store back in the late 90s. I completely forgot that you can twist the top off! I’m going to try the inverted method to see if it quickens the ripening process.
Great tips!! Thank you produce guy! Now how about persimmon fruit?
You have brought to light the mysteries of the pineapple. Thank you for all you did to make this video happen!!!
Thank you for the tips. Keep them coming.
Thank you for the video - very useful!
thank you for the tips!
Thank you for sharing this video, this is just I want to know.
Broadly speaking, ripening IS part of the rotting process - the fruit breaks down the starch, pectin and other carbohydrates through enzymes and catalysts such as Calcium Carbide... The softness and sweetness are a by product of this. A good example of this is the Banana. A ripe banana is Black and nearly a purée consistency. Humans ripen fruit, because it usually improves the palatability of the fruit. Though with Durians I'm not so sure!
Thank you for this helpful explanation. It makes perfect sense!
I love you Produce Man!
I want to know everything! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for your advice!
Thank you!! 10 years later, still good info 🍍
Awesome very helpful. I didnt know you can twist the top off that easy.
You can, but don't, if you do not eat it on the spot
Thanks for the pineapple tips
Actually, pineapples hardly ripen at all after being picked, so the state that you buy it in is the state of ripeness that it will pretty much stay. The best way to check if a pineapple is really ripe is to smell the bottom. If it smells sweet it will taste sweet. If it doesn't really smell like anything, then it will taste like one bland pineapple.
or ilLogical
That's the advice I saw elsewhere. It's odd he didn't even mention the smell test.
Thanks for the tip!!!
This has been very helpful! Thanks!
"Pineapple by the pound" hahaha love it. Thanks for the tip.
right on,,good info
THANKS FOR SHARING.
You always help me with my produce buys. Thanks for the information.
guy has great hand work.
What a great guy, thank you sir
Thank you!! Your video made most sense and I appreciate by the pound tip. Lol😜
Okay great thank you so much! God bless you!
@ferbrz I just love this guys presentation, so calm, I feel so assured! Thanks, man.
Thank youuu!!
Nice Video lovely kitchen you have.
thank you so much.
the when is it ripe videos are really really helpful. thank you for making them !!!!
last week I bought a pineapple the only pineapples that I could find were emerald green I was more interested in the top for planting than the pineapple for eating. I decided to try the pineapple anyway after I took the top off, it was the sweetest most acid-free pineapple I have ever tasted, don't let the color fool you.
I've also heard that the bottom should smell slightly fermented. And if its too acidic, then its not ripe. I hear a lot of people say they can't eat much pineapple because its burns their mouths, but if you wait until its ripe you wont have that problem.
It should smell sweet and fruity but not fermented. Any fermented or vinegar smell means is going bad.
Turning the pineapple upside down definitely works. To make it sweet.
Interesting video, thanks, very much.
Thanks for the tip on removing the top when paying by the weight, it is so logical but I never thought of that... It's funny how we forget to think about the simplest things :) I was glad to see the video, thank you.
Thank you so much. I didn’t know that.
Nice!👍😀💖
Thanks
Thanks. You just solved one of the mysteries of the universe for me. Now, if only I could figure out the whole watermelon thumping thing... Thanks again!
Came here to learn how to tell when a pineapple is ripe and learned so much more thanks
Great! I look forward to that video sir! Have a great week end. Oh is there a star fruit ( Star ennace I believe it is called) Video?
Thanks ❤
Thank you. I have what I think is a ripe pineapple and am going to cut it using your method which I watched this morning. Again. Thank You
Thanks for the lesson!🍍😁
Thank you. This is a compliment. You remind me of the actor Bill Pullman. :)))))
Thanks!
Thank u
you know, you remind me a lot of alton brown, very knowlegable and informative on food, awesome
Thanks
Thank you...
Thanks guy
I keep and plant the tops. Just peal off about 6 of the lower leaves and plant it in a pot.
Thanks. How long does it take to grow and sprout a new pineapple?
@@starsalign9336 2 years
thank you
The things we Google at 330am 🤣😂😁
Kewl, good to know. . .really looking forward to seeing your next vid. . .cutting pineaples is hard. . .hope that you can shed some light.
Is that why some are green at the bottom and gold on top?
@YourProduceGuy Yes, it is. And another surprise LOL. Yep, this is great stuff to know about! I'll certainly keep that in mind when I go shopping from now on. Thanks, your videos are great.
What would cause little white lines to form in between all the little sections on it almost like a mold but white can you answer that
appreciate
Which is correct, they keep ripening after being pulled, or ripens over time?
I was told to pick a leaf from the top, if it comes off easily it's ripe.
The pineapple on my plant is hugh n over the last week it has turned completely yellow, should I pick it now or did I wait to long
Thanks Dooooooood...........
Great video, thanks for all the info, never really knew when they were truly ripe and now I know.
Hi, I bought one a couple of days ago so that I can try propagating it. It has turned that golden color and the leaves look dry. I'd like to add that it really smells very sweet too now that it is ripe. I wonder though, if I can still use it to try to grow a pineapple since the leaves look dried out?
Wow, didn't know it was originally from Brazil 👍
thankfully, most places i've been to sell them individually rather than by the pound
It would have been nice to have seen the difference of the actual fruit between the ripe pineapple, and the one that wasn't ripe.
Thanks you Mr. YourProduceGuy
I really enjoy your videos. Interesting, informative, clear, and *concise*.

Quote: "Your associate Produce Manager said pineapples are always ripe when they pick them, just the sweetness varies, and you can eat them (green) just like that and it will be fine, just won't be very sweet."
Well, *MUAAHHAAA!*, I'd like to have your associate Produce Manager eat a several slices of green unripened pineapple without telling him what to expect.
In my experience, although the sweetness was negligibly lesser I thought I had been poisoned like that Russian spy.
My tongue bled for the rest of the day, and it took 2 or 3 days for me to recover my sense of taste.

I don't know why but I subscribed
Nice video! Can you do one on watermelons and the various varieties,colors of flesh etc of watermelons? Thanks. Have a great week!
The weight percent of the top crown is negligible in comparison to the weight of the fruit.
Unless I was buying like 30 pineapples, I'd pay the extra couple cents so I don't look like a jackass.
Matt Slupsky Pineapples are normally sold by the "each" not by weight.
Im growing them in alabama from the tops we twist off. They start to root very fast in a cup of water.
I'm here to ask you 6 years later: did you ever grow any fruit off of them?
i have a pineapple that is ripe on one side and green on the other. is it ripe enough to cut still or should i let it sit?
jesus christ just tell me when the damn thing is ripe, i dont need to know its whole genetic code
Holy crap I was thinking the same thing lol.
Seriously
The video isn't even 5 minutes long. He tells you how to know when it is ripe long with some other useful info. There is nothing wrong with that. No need to be rude.
yes actually
okay, yes I just want to know how to cut it out of the rind.
cool vid
you should repaint that door
Pineapple by the pound 🍴
Where my dad comes from a place called Ginger Hill in Jamaica, best pineapples in the world. LOL sharp, sweet acidic. However I will go with these :). Good video
I use the crowns to grow more pineapple 😊
Don't go by the color! Use your nose, smell the bottom of the pineapple, it will tell you the degree of sweetness. Full golden color is often too ripe.
