When it comes to eating pineapple, would you choose pineapple? Learn these little tricks quickly.

1. Look at the leaves of the pineapple.

In general, the longer the pineapple leaves, the sweeter the pineapple pulp; the shorter the leaves, the less flavorful. Try checking the leaves to see if they fall off easily.

If it falls off easily, it means that it has been stored for a long time and is not very fresh.

2. Observe the peel.

There are usually many raised "fruit eyes" on the pineapple skin. If it looks bushy, it means not enough sunlight. Such pineapples are generally not good.

The bigger the fruit eyes, the more ripe the pineapple is, the more water the pineapple has, and the sweeter it tastes.

3. Look at the appearance and shape.

Good quality pineapple fruits are cylindrical or oval in shape. If the shapes are the same, you should choose the rounder and thicker one. Don't choose the long one. Shorter pineapples are sweeter and have more flesh. Fuller and more mature.

4. Smell.

If the aroma is strong, it is a ripe pineapple. If there is no aroma, the pineapple is not ripe or of poor quality.

5. Touch the surface hardness.

Gently press the pineapple with your fingers, the hard and inelastic is the raw pineapple; the slightly elastic is more ripe; if it is crushed and collapsed and inelastic, it means overripe; juice overflow means the fruit has deteriorated and cannot be purchased.

6. Look at the pineapple core.

There is a core in the middle of the bottom of the pineapple. When picking, look carefully at the bottom of the pineapple. The core is smaller, which means the fruit has more flesh and is sweeter.
