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!

I learned that for cantaloupe but never thought about doing that for pineapple!

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

I like the core! It is great snacking! It's midnight and I am craving pineaoole! Thanks a lot! LOL!

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.

So good!

It's a little easier to cut out the core part when the pineapple is quartered rather than cut into eighths.

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.

Can try the Asian way to cut the eyes simultaneously since they are in diagonal rows.

You can boil the outer shell, let cool, then blend it up. It's healthy as well as the core🍍

I do it this way except A modification I made I go ahead and cut the top part off then I cut all the sides off that way did juice stays in the pineapple and doesn't get all over the place then I cut the end off after that.

Subscribed solely off the sawx hat . Go sawx!

A ripe and sweet pineapple is yellowish in colour and smells very good.

Don’t throw the peels away. You can boil up and make a delicious drink

Nice knife skills, bro.

I have found when the pineapple is slightly brownish yellow no green and very gently tug on leaf in center of crown if it comes out it should be a good one

Yummy pineapple 🍍

After removing the outside skin I slice it core and all in about four thick slices. Then I carve out the core from each thick slice. Just another way of doing it.

When you can smell the pineapple smell from the bottom of the pineapple

You should recycle the outer peaces for organic compost instead of putting in the garbage! Same with cut up fruits and vegetables and leaves from plants. 3:08

Pull the center leaf out and when it’s ripe the leaf will come out easy

Thanks 🙏

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.

If you want to know if a pineapple is ripe, smell it's butt. if it smells like pineapple then it's ready!👍🏻

You should be able to smell it and it will be bright yellow and the leaves pull out

Yes, I chew all the juice out of the core. Also, coring is now an exact science - lots of pineapple will be left on the core.

why would you remove the deliciuos core?

If you want to know if a pineapple is ripe smell it's butt. if it smells like pineapple then it's ready.

You pull the gently grab one of the green leaves and pull up not hard should come out if it doesn't its not ready

smell bottom of the pineapple

This is the fastest - but also the most wasteful way of cutting up a pineapple...

How you know it’s ripe is take a bite out of it. Be sure to put that piece back because people may want to buy it.

So boring, and so slow, that I had to watch this at 1.5x playback speed. And I don't get what is this obsession with removing the core? But otherwise a useful video.

this was unhelpful is he stoned or just naturally like idgaf low energy and waste of time 5 min to cut a pineapple? ill go watch a 30 second short

If you can clean and cut up a pineapple in less than 5 minutes, you should record it and post it on YT, otherwise, STFU.

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.
