How to Choose a Sweet Pineapple

Finding the sweetest, juiciest pineapple is easier than you think! Here are proven tricks to ensure you pick the perfect one.

1. Check the Base Aroma

✔ Bring your nose to the bottom of the pineapple. ✔ Sweet, tropical fragrance = ripe & flavorful. ✔ No scent = not fully ripe. ✔ Strong, fermented smell = overripe.

2. Look at the Shell Color

✔ Even golden color = sugar is well distributed. ✔ Too much green = needs more ripening. ✔ Dark or brown spots = might be overripe.

3. Try the Leaf Test

✔ Gently pull a center leaf—if it comes off easily, it’s ripe. ✔ Difficult to remove = needs more time to mature.
