- In this video I will show you the four things to look for when choosing as sweet, juicy, ripe, pineapple at the grocery store. I will also compare them, and show you how to cut them into slices and cubes.
The most common pineapples found in North American and European supermarkets are the MD-2 and Del Monte Gold pineapples. So those are the pineapples that I will be using in this video.
The four things to look for when choosing a pineapple are:
1. The color
2. The Leaves
3,. The Weight
4. The Aroma
Here are some good knives for cutting pineapples:

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.
I will try that. Thank you!
Came here to say the same thing. Makes a delicious refreshing drink with a dash of Angostura Bitters.
I dig… definitely will be trying this my dude. Good lookin out
isn't there a bunch of dust/mold/pesticide/wax/maybe a bug or two on the skin
@@AlexSuns It's always a good idea to scrub the skin before you cut up the fruit. Then you can boil it safely. The liquid can be used in smoothies and any refreshing drink. The rest goes into your compost.
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!
Pineapple DOES NOT continue to ripen after it's picked. Too many store managers & customers are ignorant of this fact.
That is how it is sold but I hate the green pineapples, at least half should be golden brown. Fully ripened fresh to eat are the best.
Is it true that since the pineapple is a bromeliad, you can actually grow it?
Thankyou. I always wondered how to cut a pineapple!
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
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.😊😊😊
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!
I've read that pineapple core is good for getting rid of eye floaters: worked for me.
Thanks, for the information!
I juice or smoothie the core.
@jpilsitz…….how do you take or apply it? Thanks!
@@gpilsitz1783 Urban myth.
Thanks!!! My mom will be proud of me next time I buy a pineapple!!!! Nice watch by the way!!!
OMG! Keep the core for me!... I LOVE the nice chewy core; don't waste it.
Great informative videos on picking fruit. You confirmed things I’ve already known and added to my knowledge. Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing how to pick a perfect pineapple, it is very useful
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.
Great point...I had not thought of that...
Great video. I love watermelon and pineapple.

How to get the pineapple ripe without getting moldy
ABSOLUTELY BS ! Pineapple is a fruit (unlike most other fruit) that DOES NOT RIPEN AFTER IT IS TWISTED OFF THE PLANT ! It’s as ripe as it will get when harvested, and starts to ROT slowly thereafter. After selecting a ripe enough pineapple in a market, take it home and cut it up immediately and place in closed container in refrigerator. I am a former Del Monte Hawaii pineapple plantation supervisor… 🤙
Thank you for the best and simplest method for choosing a store-bought pineapple! Have struggled with this for years! Struggle no more!
Thank you for this great tutorial! Love ripe pineapples 🍍💛
I learn a lot so i will try all of your suggestions ❤❤❤❤
Thank you i found the video VERY helpful 😀 👍🏾
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!
Another helpful video, thank you and keep up the great work! I'm going to try that!
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).
Very informative! Love your video. Thanks for the tips.

THANKS BUNCHES...I LEARNED A LOT
Well illustrated - thank you. My dad taught me to steep the skins for a pineapple drink. It’s delicious.
Yes. Its really painful watching all the pineapple kin go in the bin. And the core too. 😂
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
I’ve been there too. Hawaiians put pineapple in everything.
🍍 Great video! 🍍
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing
I enjoyed your video thank you for these important steps
Thank you🍍
Thank you... thats very nice 👍👍
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.
Great video , I always wondered how to pick a juicy pineapple and peel it and slice it , now I know . Thanks for showing us and keep your videos coming
Thanks for watching!
Best video on selecting and cutting the pineapple. Also , nice presentation in the bowl. Thanks
Thank you!
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.
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!
Thanks!
Interesting and helpful video.
Im the odd one since I do eat the seeds, but I imagine most people would agree with you. Great advice!
You’re the best dude!!

I twist the top off then cut into quarter sections which are cut against the skin to form slices
Thank you! 👍💕
A bite of heaven fresh Pineapple! Omg! ❤
Thank you :)
Thank You.
Maraschino cherries would go great with that! Yum 😋
thank you!
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.
Howdy, Texas! Thanks for watching!
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.
Thank you!
Thank you
I also find the more fragrant ones to also be sweeter
Yes, the smell is very important!
Very nice clean
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.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I love your very informative videos
Thanks for watching!
thank you
Nice presentation
Love your video
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.
Thanks you
thanks
You can make pineapple vinegar with the peel
Thanks 🌹🙏
Thanks Christian.
Thank u❤
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
Seriously? I will try that
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. .
This is the most informative video of my life. Thank you so much. Now to go buy me the most perfect pineapple! 😊
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👍
This is the first summer that we are enjoying watermelons thanks to your tips. Worked like a charm.
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 .😋😋👍💯💯
Thanks for watching!
The skin makes a wonderful drink
. 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
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
Perfect for compost
When I was in Taiwan I watched the local farmers spray the pineapples with pesticides and it was insane as the amount of pesticides they used on the pineapples. The entire pineapple crop was literally covered with 2 foot high pesticide fog.....
Thank you so much for your tips. Pineapple is my favorite fruit.😊
Just learnt how to remove the core!
NIce👏👏👏👍👍👍👊
👍🏻👍🏻
Cool!!!! Thanks!!! But I bought one of those really really green ones you showed us. How long does it take to ripen? Are there ways to make it ripen faster, or should I just toss it in the trash as a learing experience?
It will probably depend on the variety but in Cavite, Philippines, we ate the green ones fresh from the plant and they were sweet. Our farmer friend told us that the yellow one is already overripe but still edible. They don’t sell those as they become squishy during transport.
@@jamescenzon6856 Thanks... we still haven't cut it and it's been over a week on our countertop.
I usually crosscut slice after cutting off the butt and crown. Then 2 cuts to slices eliminates the core and trim edges and seeds. Cube up what's left.
