Pineapple is juicy, refreshing, and packed with tropical flavor — but nothing is more disappointing than slicing into one only to find it bland or sour. The good news? You can tell if a pineapple is sweet before you buy it — if you know what signs to look for. 🌟
Here’s the ultimate guide to picking the sweetest, ripest pineapple at the store — every single time!
✅ 1. Smell the Bottom
Turn the pineapple upside down and smell the base.
Sweet smell = sweet fruit.
If it smells fragrant and tropical, you’re good to go. No smell or a slightly fermented scent? Skip it.
✅ 2. Check the Color
Look for a pineapple that’s golden yellow from the bottom and creeping up the sides.
A green pineapple isn’t necessarily unripe, but golden skin usually means it’s sweet and ready to eat.
✅ 3. Give It a Gentle Squeeze
