    Smell the bottom of the pineapple, you can actually smell the sweetness of it. An older lady shared that info with me at the grocery store. Spot on every time!

    Brett from Sebastian Pineapple Ranch in FL: Pineapple ripeness: Each type of pineapple (6 usual suspects) has a different color when ripe. Most - use smell. if it smells amazing it's ready. Most ripen from bottom to top. If leaves fall out of crown - probably over-ripe. We don't say rotten LOL Try a serrated knife... works well too. Crown can be replanted in a pot for your home. Plenty of videos that show how to prep that too. Great video - Thanks.

    Make sure you wash the pineapple skin with vinegar water first as the skin is known to harbour listeria and salmonella and when you cut it with a knife you will transfer those bacteria to the flesh. I have not always done this but I have since learned of this. Not sure if it is truly effective at killing the bacteria but it probably helps somewhat.

    I used to work as an assistant manager in a produce warehouse for Hmart. And the way we would check the quality of the pineapple was by obviously the color. And you also wanna apply pressure on the pineapple itself, if it’s too hard than it’s not ready, it’s TOO soft all around then it’s either not good or you should eat it right away, soo what you Wanna do is catch it in between.

    This is my new 'go to' method for cutting up pineapple. As to how to tell if it's ripe: I don't know any sure method, but I usually go by the color; when it turns from green to an almost golden color outside it's ready. Thank you!

    Thanks, Home Cooked 🙂
    Helpful info.
    One person said to turn pineapple upside down to help ripen as the sugars are in the bottom of the pineapple. Also you can put it in a brown paper bag with tonatoes, apples, bananas. These fruits give off ethylene which helps the pineapple to ripen 🙂
    Remember that God loves you.

    Inthe philippines do the same for the top and bottom or leave the top as an easy handle to hold the flirt while peeling. Thinly remove the skin leaving behind the "eyes". Turn the pineapple at an angle and with shallow v-curts remove the eyes.you will end up w slanted cuts on the fruit and much better recovery of the fruits pulp. Slice up the fruit as to your liking. This takes more patience but better recovery
