Tips for buying pineapples

1. Look at the appearance. The fruits of high-quality pineapples are cylindrical or oval with slightly pointed ends, uniform in size and regular in shape. The skin of mature pineapples is light yellow or bright yellow, with slightly greenish tips at both ends, and the crown buds at the top are greenish brown. If the top of the pineapple is plump, the peel is yellow, and the flesh is soft and orange, it means it is already nine-ripe. If it is not to be eaten immediately, it is best to choose a pineapple that is still hard, light yellow and slightly green, and about seven to eight years old.

2. Look at the pulp. After the pineapple is cut, the inside will be light yellow. Pineapples with thick flesh and small core are of high quality. Inferior pineapples have large internal tissue gaps, thin pulp and thick cores. The flesh of immature pineapples is crisp, hard and white.

3. Look at the hardness of the fruit and press the pineapple gently with your hands. The hard and inelastic one is raw, while the plump and soft one is mature. If the pineapple is dented after pressing, it is an overripe pineapple. If there is juice overflowing, it means that the fruit has deteriorated and cannot be eaten.

4. Use your nose to smell and judge whether the pineapple is ripe by the intensity of the aroma. Ripe pineapples have a slight aroma on the skin, but the flesh has a strong aroma. The most fragrant pineapple is overripe, which cannot be stored for a long time and is perishable. The unscented ones are mostly picked when they are half-ripe, and contain obviously insufficient sugar, making them taste tasteless.
