How to choose a delicious and ripe pineapple: 4 factors to look out for
Not sure how to choose a delicious and ripe pineapple? SSPDaily has prepared useful tips to help you buy the best fruit.
Pay attention to the appearance
Look for pineapples with a bright golden yellow color, as this indicates its ripeness. Avoid fruits with green or brown spots, as they may be overripe.
Consider the smell
Another tip is to smell the underside of the pineapple. A sweet and fragrant aroma indicates that the fruit is ripe and flavorful. If there is no smell, it may not be as tasty.
Press lightly
Press lightly on the pineapple to test its firmness. It should give a little, but not be too soft or mushy.
Pay attention to size and weight
A heavier pineapple is likely to be juicier and sweeter. Choose one that seems heavy for its size.
