When Buying Pineapple, Smart People Turn Away From These 3 Types - The Boss Won't Even Throw Them Away

Pineapple is very popular this season. The golden hard peel is like a warrior wearing armor, with a rich and sweet flavor, juicy and tender, and the price is cheap. In April, no one wants to miss it. However, when selecting pineapples, people often don't know how to choose them, and sometimes the pineapples they buy are particularly sour. Smart people will turn away from pineapples that twist and turn, even if the boss doesn't want to eat them after throwing them away. Sharing the methods to identify good pineapples for purchase.
First, don't buy pineapples with a particularly hard peel.
Pineapple is a tropical fruit. In northern areas, eating pineapple requires a long-distance transportation, which will delay some time. To facilitate transportation and ensure that the pineapple will not rot due to over-ripeness during transportation, pineapples are harvested when they are only 80% mature. This maturity level is just right after traveling from south to north, and the hardness and softness when arriving at the destination. At this time, the pineapple is the sweetest. The color turns greenish, and when you press it with your finger, it feels hard, this indicates that the maturity has not reached, so it should not be picked, even if it's ripened, it will be sour. If you encounter such a pineapple, you should be cautious to purchase.
Second, don't buy pineapples with peeled skin.
Pineapple is a fruit, so it will inevitably have bumps during transportation, leading to damaged pineapples. However, many merchants try to sell these already damaged pineapples for profit by removing the damaged parts, peeling, slicing into large chunks, and packing them in food bags to substitute them for good ones. Therefore, when buying pineapples, people should not buy pineapples with peeled skin or sliced into pieces. If you really want to buy peeled pineapple for easy consumption, it's best to personally select it and ask the merchant to peel the pineapple skin for you.
Third, don't buy pineapples with small and dense fruit eyes.
Most fruits need sufficient sunlight to grow, and the more sunlight, the higher the sweetness and moisture, and the better the texture. When choosing pineapples, you should choose pineapples with large and loose fruit eyes. These pineapples have enough sunshine, sweetness and moisture, and consumers don't need to worry about the taste and texture when purchasing. Conversely, pineapples with small and dense fruit eyes are because of insufficient sunlight, so they will have insufficient sweetness and moisture, and the taste will be sour and astringent, and the content of 'pineapple bromelain' which can cause allergies is high. When purchasing, do not buy such pineapples.
Remember these three methods to identify good pineapples. You can easily buy pineapples with satisfying taste when purchasing.
——Old said——
Especially the second one, buying pineapples with peeled skin, it is easy to have deteriorated ones substituting for good ones. Fruit will rot and cannot be eaten if the rotten part is simply removed, because after the fruit rots, the mold will penetrate the entire fruit, and the rotten part contains nitrite, which is harmful to the body if eaten.
