Selection tips

Choosing the perfect pineapple can be a challenge, as there are many factors to consider. Here are some tips:

Appearance: The pineapple should have a uniform yellow color, without brown or green spots. The skin should be firm and smooth, without bumps or dents.
Smell: Pineapple should have a sweet and fruity aroma. If it doesn't smell like anything, it's probably not ripe.
Weight: The pineapple should be heavy for its size. This indicates that it has a lot of fruit inside.
Leaves: Leaves should be green and flexible. If they are dry or brown, the pineapple is probably not ripe.

Here are some additional tips for choosing the perfect pineapple:

Choose pineapples that are ripe, but not overripe. Overripe pineapples can be soft and stringy.
Avoid pineapples that have brown or green spots. These spots indicate that the pineapple is ripe or not ripe.
If you're not sure if the pineapple is ripe, smell the stem. The stem of a ripe pineapple will have a sweet, fruity aroma.

With these tips, you will be able to choose the perfect pineapple to enjoy its sweet and juicy flavor.

Conservation

Tips for preserving whole pineapple:

Keep pineapple in a cool, dry place. The ideal temperature is 10 to 13 degrees Celsius.
Avoid exposing pineapple to direct sunlight. Sunlight can accelerate fruit ripening.
Do not store pineapple in the refrigerator. Low temperatures can damage the fruit.

Tips for preserving cut pineapple:

Peel and cut the pineapple as close to the consumption date as possible.
Store the cut pineapple in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle the cut pineapple with lemon or orange juice to prevent it from browning.
