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!

when the leaves are easy to pull out that’s when you know it’s ripe

Yeah but you can't go ripping off the tops of all the pineapples lol just smell the base of them, if it smells like pineapple is good to go

@@jmadera_6 Try to lift the whole fruit by pulling only one leaf. If the leaf falls off then it's ripe. You'll only pull out one leaf from the one you'll buy. Hope this makes sense.

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.

Always was taught by the smell. When it's at its sweetest aroma it's ready to go

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.

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.

You find the ripeness by plucking the center of the crown, if the leaves come out really easily then most likely it’s ripe and sweet! You’re welcome 😁

Set the pineapple on a table at room temperature, when you can smell pinapple its ripe, the same goes for a cantalop may take 1day may take 3 days depending on how unripe the fruit is when bought.

This is the standard method. Another way is the most flesh-saving, spiral cutting method. Using the standard way of cutting pineapples, doesn't mean the person must absolutely be a "lazy" person. That's just your personal prejudice, and subjective assumptions of others, lol.

it's most defiantly lazy, explain why not use spiral cutting method? When it's the superior method in not being wasteful. Speed? Sounds like laziness to me. @@zanaros2606
