How to choose a delicious pineapple
- Color: you should choose fruits that have a bright yellow color from the stem to the tail, there may be a few eyes that are slightly green, but it will still have a certain sweetness.
- Shape: Round and short pineapples will have more flesh than long ones.
- Pineapple eyes: Choose fruits with large, sparse eyes because this indicates that the pineapple is mature and naturally ripe, not chemically treated.
- Smell: you can try smelling the end of the fruit; if it has a fragrant smell, you should buy it. Also, do not choose fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, as those pineapples are overripe.
- Pineapple crown: The greener the crown, the fresher the pineapple. Overripe pineapples will have a dry or brownish crown.
- Touch: A good, fresh pineapple will not be too hard or too soft; when you press your finger into it, there should be no indentation.
