Everyone's favorite summer snack are diced pineapples. They are healthy, sweet, juicy, and they are plain beautiful. Forget buying them pre-packaged with preservatives; buy the fruit itself for guaranteed freshness. We understand that pineapples look daunting to tackle due to their odd shape and prickly exterior, but after you read this guide, pineapples will be a staple at all of your summer gatherings.
Tips for Picking a Pineapple
Color check (fresh and fully ripe pineapples should have bright and healthy leaves, along with a greenish-yellow exterior)
Squeeze it (ripe pineapple should have a firm shell, but it will be slightly softer when squeezed)
Smell it (ripe pineapples tend to have a sweet smell at the bottom, right near the base of the fruit)
Weigh it (heavier pineapples are more often juicier, sweeter, and more ripe)
Pull it (gently tug at the fronds ‘large leaves’ to see if they’re easy to pull as this will indicate that your pineapple is ripe and ready)
How to Cut a Pineapple
Cut off the top of the pineapple
Cut off the bottom end of the pineapple
Remove pineapple skin by slicing it off, following the shape of the pineapple
Slice the pineapple in half (top to bottom)
