In this video I will show you the four things to look for when choosing as sweet, juicy, ripe, pineapple at the grocery store. I will also compare them, and show you how to cut them into slices and cubes.
The most common pineapples found in North American and European supermarkets are the MD-2 and Del Monte Gold pineapples. So those are the pineapples that I will be using in this video.
The four things to look for when choosing a pineapple are:
1. The color
2. The Leaves
3,. The Weight
4. The Aroma
Here are some good knives for cutting pineapples:

All the waste, peelings and parts with seeds you place in a pot, add as much water as you want, as much sugar as you like and boil it for about 1/2 hour. Let it cool to room temperature, add ice to a glass, top it with the boiled juice and drink. Super refreshing and delicious. No waste.

I agree with everything you said about choosing a pineapple except you CAN buy a more green pineapple, take it home and give it a few days to ripen. This is my very much preferred way to buy as I can cut it when it's at the peak of ripeness. It's a beautiful thing.

I prefer to buy mine as ripe as I can find, like he said, and then... this is the important part... I set the pineapple on the counter UPSIDE DOWN! The leaves go on the countertop and the "bottom" is sticking up in the air. Sometimes I'll even put the leaves into an empty glass Adams Natural Peanut Butter jar with a few chop sticks to stabilize it if the pineapple is a bit crooked or wobbly. Being upside down gives the pineapple a chance to finish ripening without the bottom getting all moldy. It also allows all the sugars that are usually in the bottom to get more evenly distributed throughout the pineapple. I've ripen many a pineapple to golden perfection on my countertop! Once you try it, you'll never go back!

ABSOLUTELY BS ! Pineapple is a fruit (unlike most other fruit) that DOES NOT RIPEN AFTER IT IS TWISTED OFF THE PLANT ! It’s as ripe as it will get when harvested, and starts to ROT slowly thereafter. After selecting a ripe enough pineapple in a market, take it home and cut it up immediately and place in closed container in refrigerator. I am a former Del Monte Hawaii pineapple plantation supervisor… 🤙

Guys never throw out your pineapple skins and cores yet! Throw them into a pot add water to keep them submerged and boil away. When water is almost reduced to half drain it and drink this water, everyday. Store leftover water in refrigerator to max 3 days only. This water is so rich in vitamins and has many health benefits - google it! Have been doing this for years. Love your videos very informative!

I cut the flesh off the trimmings to use in a teriyaki marinade. Fresh pineapple makes the marinade much more powerful than canned pineapple juice. Marinade the meat (beef, pork, or chicken) only an hour or two or the meat will begin to break down (dissolve if you will.) I learned this the hard way

Very helpful video as is the watermelon selection video. There is another way to slice pineapple (and grow one) that I learned from a class in the open courtyard at what used to be the Hawaiian Regent Hotel, now the Waikiki Beach Marriot Resort and Spa: For growing the top, first twist off the top instead of cutting it. Then pull off the lower leaves until you see root buds. Let it sit on top of a small glass with just the point in the water. Sprout when it has roots and plant in appropriate soil. To slice, cut off the bottom, then cut the pineapple in quarters from the top down. Slice the core out of each quarter, then make slices within the shell. Then cut the good fruit away from the shell. You can leave them in the quarters, pushing each slice out alternately and serve that way, or for chunks, cut each quarter in half lengthwise then do the same. Seems to be more efficient and safer this way. (From a photo taken from the 20th floor down at the pool, we later designed our pool after that one with built in planters and waterfall on a smaller scale for our former home).

I buy pineapple by the volume from farms of Tagaytay, Philippines. My experiwnce is that when i want a very flavorfu pineapple i choose the golden color or really ripe. It has less sugar taste but very rich in flavor. And when i like to have very sweet taste pineapple i pick up the green colored pineapple with very little yellow color or none at all. Dole Company grow pineapple in Philippines on a Lease Terms.
