@Margar02 10 лет назад

Here's how I test and it has never failed me: -First, I smell the bottom. If it smells like pineapple, we're on the right track. -Second, I wiggle a leaf around the middle of the scraggle, and if it comes out easily or feels like a loose wiggly tooth, It's ready to go! I look at color third. I've had luck with anything from half-yellow-half-green to golden colored all over and had good results. But I have also gotten a few over-ripe golden ones. I wouldn't have left that one for a week. Maybe 4 days.

@h0rcrux774 5 лет назад

Golden ones are actually the ripe ones, and dont burn the living shit out of your mouth either

@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT 5 лет назад

I read that on an article about smelling the pineapple after I googled "How to tell a good pineapple from a bad one". It stated: If you put a pineapple at your nose and smell its natural scent, then it is good to pick. I tried this golden rule and picked out a nice smelly pinepple and cut it home. To my surprise, the taste was sweet, yet mild and juicy.

@@h0rcrux774 try finding an actual golden pineapple in a store. Try letting a grocery store pineapple ripen before the bottom rots. Can't do it. Unless you buy $7 pineapples from the bougie store or get really lucky.

@kght222 6 лет назад

i work in a produce department and ever since i started there i have been having to explain that you can tell the ripeness of a pineapple by looking at it. you can't tell it's condition which is another thing entirely, but you can tell it's development. i always see people grabbing the green ones and when i talk to them they plan to eat it that day. i have to explain that they want this other golden even a little brown one, that it will be sweeter and excellent. i have people coming back with complements all the time. i would love to share this video with them but you encouraged them to do something behind my back, so i'll just subscribe *wink*

they can't make you purchase an inedible part of the fruit. if corn is selling by the pound, I shuck before I pay, it holds a lot of moisture. just give out a shot, all they could do is say no, then tell them what I said about it not being edible. stand up for yourself. Good luck :)

@Reubenhubert 10 лет назад

I was told to grab one leaf near the center of the crown and pull. If it comes out easily it's ready to eat.

@alfredbenedek3398 Год назад

Much appreciated! thank you, for these, rare & unusual pointers.

@MGarciareporting Год назад

I found that a lot of people don't eat ripe fruit, or know what it's supposed to taste like and they end up not eating it because they say it doesn't taste good. But the reality is that it wasn't eaten at it's sweetness!! You had a perfect example of when I open my pineapples, it's usually that drabby looking pineapple, is the one at its sweetness. I love pineapples and cantaloupes right now. Most fruits in the stores should not be eaten right away, should be placed in a cupboard or on the counter for several days to sometimes a week for its sweetness to come through.

@Deutoplasm 10 лет назад

I grew some and I live in Maryland yes its in a pot and took over 3 years to produce a fruit. I used the biggest pot I could find because they get really huge, and of course I moved it indoors when the temp gets below 55F. They take up a lot of space I had 4 growing at one time but they really spread out so I cut it down to 2, & be careful when you move them around because they stab you , wear safety goggles! they need plentiful sunshine and in the darker months you need to use grow lights

@andyyellen Год назад

I live in the UK. I grew a pineapple from a shop bought pineapple crown. It has taken over two years but now has a healthy fruit growing. I can only leave outside June to October but my kitchen is bright as we have two large roof windows. I repotted once as it out grew its first pot. Summer daytime temps here average around 22-24C. To be honest i am amazed it has grown so as it spends 6-7 months a year in the kitchen and we don't get much sunlight from November to March.

NEVER take off the stem! It encourages ROT and it will RIPEN better and stay longer WITH the crown

@michaellibera3746 6 лет назад

Pineapples DO NOT RIPEN after they are picked. I agree, do not pull the crown off, and refrigerating kills the flavor, much like tomatoes.

@Kushwithakilo 4 года назад

Fuck I just took off the crown, wish I read this before

@JosephLachh 3 года назад

@@michaellibera3746 does refrigerating tomatoes make them more sweet? I have found that if I make a chopped cucumber salad with tomatoes in it, it gets too sweet by the 2-3rd day.

@Mangolite Месяц назад

@@michaellibera3746 Most fruits (and vegetables with similar properties) ripen after being picked, with some, like avocados, benefiting significantly from this process. I am currently experimenting with two pineapple heads-one with the crown and one without-both turned upside down. After almost a week, both fruits seem to be ripening similarly. The one without the crown shows no signs of rotting and is easier to turn upside down. However, I suggest using a plate or container under the pineapples to catch any potential juice leakage. Although I haven't encountered this issue so far, it's better to be safe than sorry. In about two days, I will conduct a taste test to determine which one is sweeter and not rotten.

Ty! I’ve been obsessing over pineapples for months and this video really helped

@Deutoplasm 10 лет назад

so much conflicting things ion the internet, the Hawaiian Crown Pineapple company says once Pineapples are picked they stop ripening. so the best thing to do is just to choose a pineapple at a store that has a healthy golden color to it, not dried up leaves

@ITIsFunnyDamnIT 2 года назад

Thank You for that tip. Believe it or not I started growing a pine apple plant in my own yard here in Florida. It actually grew a nice pineapple. I wasn't really sure when the best time to harvest it would be though. It is turning nice and yellow on most of it except one side. I harvested it last week. I just twisted the top off and going to turn it upside down for more ripeness and sweetness. Thanks.

@sonny8709 8 лет назад

@tonyabug73 12 лет назад

I tried the tip about twisting off the top of the pineapple and placing it upside down to speed ripening. It works! It ripened twice as fast as it did with the top on right side up. : )

@SheltoniaNation 2 года назад

I used to work in the produce department at a grocery store back in the late 90s. I completely forgot that you can twist the top off! I’m going to try the inverted method to see if it quickens the ripening process.

@ayidas 11 лет назад

My parents grow pineapples in their garden, and they always turn out delicious! They live in central Florida :)

@Denuhm 12 лет назад

Broadly speaking, ripening IS part of the rotting process - the fruit breaks down the starch, pectin and other carbohydrates through enzymes and catalysts such as Calcium Carbide... The softness and sweetness are a by product of this. A good example of this is the Banana. A ripe banana is Black and nearly a purée consistency. Humans ripen fruit, because it usually improves the palatability of the fruit. Though with Durians I'm not so sure!

I've also heard that the bottom should smell slightly fermented. And if its too acidic, then its not ripe. I hear a lot of people say they can't eat much pineapple because its burns their mouths, but if you wait until its ripe you wont have that problem.

@nunyabusiness3832 Год назад

It should smell sweet and fruity but not fermented. Any fermented or vinegar smell means is going bad.

@monkandgoose890 9 лет назад

Actually, pineapples hardly ripen at all after being picked, so the state that you buy it in is the state of ripeness that it will pretty much stay. The best way to check if a pineapple is really ripe is to smell the bottom. If it smells sweet it will taste sweet. If it doesn't really smell like anything, then it will taste like one bland pineapple.

Thanks you Mr. YourProduceGuy I really enjoy your videos. Interesting, informative, clear, and *concise*. *@ **1:56* Quote: "Your associate Produce Manager said pineapples are always ripe when they pick them, just the sweetness varies, and you can eat them (green) just like that and it will be fine, just won't be very sweet." Well, *MUAAHHAAA!*, I'd like to have your associate Produce Manager eat a several slices of green unripened pineapple without telling him what to expect. In my experience, although the sweetness was negligibly lesser I thought I had been poisoned like that Russian spy. My tongue bled for the rest of the day, and it took 2 or 3 days for me to recover my sense of taste. .
