How Do You Know When A Pineapple Is Ripe?

The most effective method to check for a ripe pineapple is to smell it, if the aroma is good then its ripe. Do not go for a pineapple color since it may not be a good indicator of its ripeness.

I have always bought pineapples that were a bit hard to the touch and waited a day or two before cutting. Has worked every time. Even if you cut too early, the pineapple will ripen to where you can eat it.

:while smelling is a great technique a simple thump Will help if it has a nice thick sound then its ripe

HERE IS A SIGHT I HOPE THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO TELL IF YOUR PINEAPPLE IS RIPE.Ripe Pineapple

Check the bottom of the pineapple if it's soft then you have a ripe pineapple

By tugging gently on the center leaves, if ripe they should pull out easily.

Another method I use to tell if a pineapple is ripe by if the leaves on top pull out easily it means it's ripe.

The best way to tell if a pineapple is ripe is to pull a leaf from the center of the stalk. If it pulls out easily you have a ripe fruit. Any resistance is an indication that it is not ready. If there are dried leaves, you are too late. Sorry
