How to choose a ripe pineapple: what to look for
Many people like to decorate holiday tables with sweet pineapples.
But in order for the product to really please and be tasty, you need to take the process of choosing it at the market or in the store seriously.
How to choose a pineapple
A ripe and quality fruit should be yellow-brown. A slight greenish tint is possible. If the peel is completely brown, it means that the pineapple is overripe.
The scales should be clean and smooth.
The leaves on the pineapple should come off easily. This is a sign of a ripe fruit. The foliage may be green, wilted, or begin to turn yellow.
You should not buy a fruit that has damage. There is a chance that in this case it may be rotten.
It is also advisable to pay attention to the smell of pineapple.
If it is strong and sweet, then this is a sign of a breach in the integrity of the shell.
Unripe fruits have no smell, but ripe ones have a pleasant and subtle aroma.
