How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
Fresh and delicious pineapples will have a bright yellow color, these are ripe fruits. Avoid choosing fruits with a dark brown color as this is a sign that they are overripe and about to spoil.
Additionally, for the shape, choose fruits that are slightly round and short. Especially, fruits with larger eyes are better, as the flesh will be more abundant than other fruits.
Moreover, limit choosing fruits that are overly ripe as they will spoil quickly and may ferment, which can be checked by smell. Do not choose fruits with a strong smell, but only those with a sweet, moderate aroma.
