The secret of how to pick a sweet juicy pineapple piña | 4 things to look for | How to cut it 

Thankyou. I always wondered how to cut a pineapple!

All the waste, peelings and parts with seeds you place in a pot, add as much water as you want, as much sugar as you like and boil it for about 1/2 hour. Let it cool to room temperature, add ice to a glass, top it with the boiled juice and drink. Super refreshing and delicious. No waste.

Thanks!!! My mom will be proud of me next time I buy a pineapple!!!! Nice watch by the way!!!

I prefer to buy mine as ripe as I can find, like he said, and then... this is the important part... I set the pineapple on the counter UPSIDE DOWN! The leaves go on the countertop and the "bottom" is sticking up in the air. Sometimes I'll even put the leaves into an empty glass Adams Natural Peanut Butter jar with a few chop sticks to stabilize it if the pineapple is a bit crooked or wobbly. Being upside down gives the pineapple a chance to finish ripening without the bottom getting all moldy. It also allows all the sugars that are usually in the bottom to get more evenly distributed throughout the pineapple. I've ripen many a pineapple to golden perfection on my countertop! Once you try it, you'll never go back!

Great informative videos on picking fruit. You confirmed things I’ve already known and added to my knowledge. Thank you so much.

I learn a lot so i will try all of your suggestions ❤❤❤❤

OMG! Keep the core for me!... I LOVE the nice chewy core; don't waste it.

Welcome to Taiwan where the pineapples are the best . Golden yellow with sweet smell . In the high season they are very cheap in the price.😊😊😊

Thank you for showing how to pick a perfect pineapple, it is very useful

Very informative! Love your video. Thanks for the tips.

Fantastic!! Thank you!!

Liked & subscribed, great video ! Super informative without making someone feel stupid for not knowing. That's a gift!

Thank you. Tips are valuable & helpful.

Very helpful from a to z thank you!!!!

Excellent advice. Thanks very much!

Thank you for the video. It was very informative and detailed.

I cut the flesh off the trimmings to use in a teriyaki marinade. Fresh pineapple makes the marinade much more powerful than canned pineapple juice. Marinade the meat (beef, pork, or chicken) only an hour or two or the meat will begin to break down (dissolve if you will.) I learned this the hard way

great tips! common sense but very effective

Another great demo!

THANKS BUNCHES...I LEARNED A LOT

Another helpful video, thank you and keep up the great work! I'm going to try that!

🍍 Great video! 🍍 Thanks for sharing!

needed this in my life, thank you

Very helpful video as is the watermelon selection video. There is another way to slice pineapple (and grow one) that I learned from a class in the open courtyard at what used to be the Hawaiian Regent Hotel, now the Waikiki Beach Marriot Resort and Spa: For growing the top, first twist off the top instead of cutting it. Then pull off the lower leaves until you see root buds. Let it sit on top of a small glass with just the point in the water. Sprout when it has roots and plant in appropriate soil. To slice, cut off the bottom, then cut the pineapple in quarters from the top down. Slice the core out of each quarter, then make slices within the shell. Then cut the good fruit away from the shell. You can leave them in the quarters, pushing each slice out alternately and serve that way, or for chunks, cut each quarter in half lengthwise then do the same. Seems to be more efficient and safer this way. (From a photo taken from the 20th floor down at the pool, we later designed our pool after that one with built in planters and waterfall on a smaller scale for our former home).

Great info, thank you very much!

You’re the best dude!!

Well illustrated - thank you. My dad taught me to steep the skins for a pineapple drink. It’s delicious.

I agree with everything you said about choosing a pineapple except you CAN buy a more green pineapple, take it home and give it a few days to ripen. This is my very much preferred way to buy as I can cut it when it's at the peak of ripeness. It's a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much!!

I enjoyed your video thank you for these important steps

Thank you for sharing

Thank you... thats very nice 👍👍

Thank you🍍

I’m in mesmerized by how through and simple your videos are. Am excited finally be confident with what im doing in the fruit and veggie aisle. 😅

Interesting and helpful video.

Thank you for sharing valuable helpful TIPS.

Guys never throw out your pineapple skins and cores yet! Throw them into a pot add water to keep them submerged and boil away. When water is almost reduced to half drain it and drink this water, everyday. Store leftover water in refrigerator to max 3 days only. This water is so rich in vitamins and has many health benefits - google it! Have been doing this for years. Love your videos very informative!

Best video on selecting and cutting the pineapple. Also , nice presentation in the bowl. Thanks

I was raised in the Rio Grande Valley and stumbled on your watermelon video then this one. The melon one, i knew all BUT the belly button. That was awesome tip. But we visited the Dole plantation in Hawaii and they said the same tips you did and all i could remember was the leaf pull. Follower of your awesome content now!

Hi I enjoy watching your video I’m going to use your tips for buying pineapple because it’s my favorite fruit bye.

Im the odd one since I do eat the seeds, but I imagine most people would agree with you. Great advice!

Thank you! 👍💕

Thank You.

Great video ... also watched how to pick a tomato. Eat a lot of pineapple, only difference with my style is that I twist off the leaves. Like your style, posted you on my FB. Keep posting good info.

Brilliant!

I miss Hawaii and I miss the tasty and completely sweet and edible, less acidic Kona Sugarloaf. You can eat the core of that type. No waste!

thank you!

Thank you

Big Thank You too YOU and the comments below. I visited the Dole Plantation in Hawaii and was looking for a tall tree like the ones coconuts grow on....I am a city boy, what can I say...lol

Nice presentation

Thanks Christian.

I love your very informative videos

Very nice clean

Super fantastic presentation. I can't wait until I can buy a pineapple and taste it! Thanks for the lesson and great information on ALL your videos. I liked and subscribed to all.

Thanks 🌹🙏

I also find the more fragrant ones to also be sweeter

I place an under ripe pineapple in a brown paper bag and seal closed with an apple. The pineapple ripens in about 1.5 weeks. I also plant the tops and grow really sweet pineapple in my yard.

Thank u❤

Love your video

Hey, thanks for this! I live in Texas, so they dont have them too often at my local stores. I love pineapple but always tended to get ones that weren't ripe, which I'd cut too soon.

You can make pineapple vinegar with the peel

I twist the top off then cut into quarter sections which are cut against the skin to form slices

The skin makes a wonderful drink

Thanks, this has been very helpful. Ever since seeing this I haven't picked a bad pineapple yet. You should also tag fruitarians and frugivores so they would benefit from this as well.

This is the first summer that we are enjoying watermelons thanks to your tips. Worked like a charm.

This is the most informative video of my life. Thank you so much. Now to go buy me the most perfect pineapple! 😊

I buy pineapple by the volume from farms of Tagaytay, Philippines. My experiwnce is that when i want a very flavorfu pineapple i choose the golden color or really ripe. It has less sugar taste but very rich in flavor. And when i like to have very sweet taste pineapple i pick up the green colored pineapple with very little yellow color or none at all. Dole Company grow pineapple in Philippines on a Lease Terms.

Just learnt how to remove the core!

I wash the Pineapple with a little brush. Then I boil the skin of the Pineapple for half an hour and you get a nice Pineapple juice

AWESOME VIDEO. I ALSO LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED. AMAZING INFORMATION. I WILL BE WATCHING FOR SURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOOD CHAIN TV FOR THE SERVICE .😋😋👍💯💯

Thank you so much for your tips. Pineapple is my favorite fruit.😊

I don't throw out the core, I would get them out, like what you did in the video, and just eat them myself. For the skin, I would use my chopper, and chop them into smaller pieces (minced them) and using it as a fertilizer in my garden👍

NIce👏👏👏👍👍👍👊

good video. I've never known how to pick a ripe one. Do you know if the bits you cut off are okay for a compost pile? Thanks for your series - I hate wasting money on bad produce

. Thankyou I was wondering on how to pick and cut pineapple I usually bought the dollar e chunks in a can but they have discontinued them .AND THE pineapple is a staple so now how would I can pineapple chunks

Thanks for the pointers. Actually there are green pineapples that are sweet. I twist the leaves off, put in water,transplant to a pot when roots are appearing. The skin and trimmings add to a compost. I stopped eating pineapple because my tongue and cheeks hurt after eating. .

Honey pineapple 👍🙏🙏

Put some softened cream cheese between the rows of slices for dipping!
