How to choose pineapple

Many people like to eat pineapples, but sometimes the pineapples you buy are not yet ripe or fully ripe. Eating them is not good for human health and the taste is not good. Therefore, the selection of these fruits cannot be ignored. Then, do you know and understand the pineapples that are easy to see in daily life? From which aspects should you observe whether it is ripe? Take a look at the methods below!

The pineapple skin is orange-yellow with a slight red tint and is shiny. It is generally more mature in growth and development and tastes sweeter. If the skin is still green, it means that the pineapple is not yet ripe, contains lower sugar content, and the taste will be much worse. At the same time, the leaves on the top of the pineapple are bright green, which usually means that it has received good sunlight during its growth process, is very fresh, and tastes delicious and juicy.

In addition to mastering the method of making the skin red and the leaves green, there are also some tips for selecting sweet pineapples. Generally speaking, pineapples that are shorter and thicker have more and firmer flesh than those that are taller and thinner. These "short and fatter" pineapples are also relatively more delicious and sweeter. When buying pineapples, you should also pay attention to the size. Large pineapples are more ripe, better developed than small ones, and taste sweeter. You can also smell the bottom of the fruit carefully. The stronger the aroma, the sweeter the fruit.

In addition, you can also gently press the pineapple with your hands to determine its ripeness. The hard and inelastic ones are picked raw and contain insufficient sugar; the firm but soft ones are at the perfect maturity and have full flesh; the concave ones are over-ripe pineapples; if juice is overflowing, it means it has gone bad and can no longer be eaten.

I hope everyone can pay attention to this common sense when buying these fruits. If you want to eat nutritious and delicious fruits and fully utilize their health-preserving effects on your body, you need to master these technical issues so that you can eat these fruits that are good for your health with confidence.
