- A good pineapple will have a naturally sweet fragrance, feel moderately soft when touched, and have a slightly wrinkled skin.
- Avoid choosing pineapples that feel hard, heavy, have an overpowering smell, or have skin mixed with dark brown, as these are not fresh and will affect the flavor when cooked.
