Question

How to tell if a pineapple is ripe?

Answer 1

To tell if a pineapple is ripe, there are a few signs to look for:

1. Smell: A ripe pineapple will have a sweet, tropical aroma at the base of the fruit.
2. Touch: The skin should give slightly when pressed but not be too soft.
3. Color: The color of the pineapple should be mostly golden yellow with some green. Avoid pineapples with too much green as they may not be ripe yet.
4. Leaves: The leaves at the top of the pineapple should be green and vibrant, not wilted or dry. Using these indicators can help you choose a ripe and delicious pineapple.
