1, difficult to grow
Pineapple is more difficult to grow and manage than pineapple. The growth of pineapple needs more sunshine, warm climate and plenty of water, as well as regular pruning and weeding. These requirements increase the cost of pineapple cultivation, resulting in its relatively high price.
2. Low yield
Pineapple ripens for a long time, usually 12- 18 months. Pineapples only need 6-8 months to ripen. Therefore, the output of pineapple is relatively low, which leads to its higher price.
3. Short storage period
Pineapple is easily affected by oxidation, decay and deterioration, so it needs to be eaten or treated as soon as possible after ripening. Pineapples can be kept for a long time, which also increases the price of pineapples.
4. Good taste
Pineapple is more tender and juicy, tastes more delicious, and is rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, calcium and other nutrients. Pineapple, on the other hand, tastes rough and contains less nutrients.
Shopping tips of pineapple
1, feeling
As long as you press it gently with your hand, you can easily identify it. The ripe pineapple is very heavy at first, so it will be elastic when you press it lightly. Just look at the discoloration of the root. If it is difficult, give up decisively.
Step 2 smell the fragrance
Ripe pineapple can smell a faint fragrance from the skin (the maturity is just right), and it is more fragrant after cutting. If it is not cut, it will smell (too mature) and it is not recommended to buy it.
3. Look into Bud's eyes
Pineapple has few buds and small skin space, which makes pineapple pulp rich, juicy, edible and tastes better.
4. Look at these leaves
The leaves of mature pineapples are usually blue-brown. If you want to eat on the same day, buy orange scales. If you eat it two days later, buy bright yellow with green luster at both ends.
Step 5 look at the epidermis
Fresh pineapples are good pineapples. Pick it up and gently touch every position. If it is soft, it means that the pineapple may be partially rotten due to extrusion or other reasons, and it is not recommended to buy it.
