I appreciate your comment and my labeling "ripening" technique may be a misnomer but the video does show you how to take a tart green pineapple and change it into a sweet treat.
I've become a pineapple freak. I buy them green, turn them upside down w the top ON, wait until they are at their peak of ripeness, (3 weeks to a month), cut them up, dehydrate, or freeze. delicious!!!! Pineapples absolutely ripen once picked!!
Yes, but you can clearly see the colour difference in the pineapple. Have you ever tried this technique? If not, it's kind of hard to judge it if you haven't tried it. You can clearly see the colour change. I am trying this right now and I will report back if it works
It's been 9 years now. I remember a pineapple sitting on our table and we kind of forgot about it untill the day we started smelling something bad. The nastiest smelling liquid had oozed out from the bottom and it took about ten years before we bought a pineapple again and we made sure to cut it up at the right time.
I lived on Maui for 12 years, and would never buy an unripe pineapple. They DO NOT ripen after cutting from the stalk. They will ferment and get yellower, but actually taste worse with age. If you can only find unripe ones, and MUST use it, sprinkle a little li hing mui powder on the fruit, to make it edible.
Actually, if you do this process in a very staged way, it can work wonders. Many of us mainlanders don't get to pick and choose the ripeness,but if we "home ripen" and eat a few slices each day, it works fairly well. Obviously there is a fine line between edible and rotten. Been doing this for years and works well though of course I would prefer a store bought ripe pineapple.
I bought two and saved about $6.00. Pre-cut fruit at my local store was $6.99 for 4oz. This way I had about 15 oz-almost a pound of ripe, sweet juicy fruit. I never would have thought of this. For some who said otherwise, that all it would do is ferment and rot, I disagree. Respectfully, but still, I disagree.
This is worst ... Just put the pineapple in dry grass for one day and second day it will be ripen... Who will wait for 6 days to eat just one pineapple...or better to take a ripen pineapple from walmart and Krogar
Best part was "replanting" that pineapple head but it seemed to be in the ground a long time; wonder how she judged in picking out the pineapple to make it sweeter .... 😜🍍
