How to choose a fresh pineapple?
August 10th, 2008 flowercarole
Do you ever avoid buying certain fruits in the supermarket because you are not quite sure how to tell if they are fresh or ripe?
One particular fruit people tend to avoid is the beautiful pineapple fruit. This fruit not only smells fantastic it tastes wonderful too!
Top tips for choosing a fresh / ripe pineapple:
1. Have a good look at the pineapple it should have deep green leaves and be brightly coloured.
2. Avoid pineapples with brown leaves.
3. The pineapple you are holding should be heavy for its size and the skin should give slightly when you push it gently, but there should be no soft spots or areas that are squashy to the touch.
4. A pineapple should have a wonderful sweet smell at the stem end of the fruit.
