      Dont mean to ruin your day but pineapples do not ripen after they are picked- they just get softer. This is because sugar stops developing once they are picked. Grats on finally getting a good one though!

    • @DenKihl
      @DenKihl ปีที่แล้ว +44

      Pineapple do not ripen once you pick them. This guy knows nothing about the physiology of the pineapple. As they sit on the counter they start to ferment, not ripen! Cherries, berries, pineapple, grapes, watermelon and others are NON-Climacteric fruits and DO NOT further ripen once they are picked. They key is that they all must be picked when physiologically mature. Just pick the greenest and the heaviest when picking a pineapple, sugar weighs more than water.

      You can take to tip off, and turn it upside down on your counter until the sugar that settles to bottom distributes to the top. Best pineapple you’ll have in your life. And also roll your lemons and limes prior to cutting!! It’ll break the tiny pieces apart before you slice for easy juicing

    I worked in a produce department throughout college and will never forget all the information I obtained about how to pick the best fruits & veggies. People that don't buy pineapples because they are "too hard to cut" or "I don't know how to de-core it" need to watch this! It's SUPER fast! Can chop up a pineapple in a minute easy. Watermelons too, record speed was 23 seconds I think?

      "Yes! It is safe to eat the core of a pineapple. Although it is less juicy and slightly more bitter compared to the flesh that surrounds it, there is nothing unsafe about eating a pineapple core." What google said, it's edible, he just prefers not to eat it, so you're okay.

    Tip for pineapple, look for soft juicy golden bottom with greener top. Make sure the step can rip off semi easily by twisting and pulling by hand. Then before cutting, rip the top off and set it upside down for 20min-1hour. Will cause a lot of the bottom juicyness to spread into the top(since upside down) making the entire fruit equally juicy and nice. This is most important for soft ripe ones

    i gotta fact-check you on the mamey. if its noticably super starchy it's underripe. it's gotta be like REALLY soft/mushy. like if it was any other fruit you'd think it's overripe and/or rotting. that's what you want with a mamey

    My experience with watermelon is that most watermelons in the same shipment taste pretty similar. I'm still one of those "middle aged dudes patting the watermelons" - but never feel like it makes much of a difference. Great tips, though!

    • @punxie89

      Another tip is to find one with lots of webbing looking scars on the skin! That's where the bees successfully pollenated. And if the base where the stem is has brown colouring; if it's still green, it means that it was picked too early

    I was so happy when i learned kiwis skin was edible so much of the fruit goes to waste peeling it and just a little love under some water and ripping into them like apples or cutting it in half or smaller slices is amazing. Plus it gives u a lot more fiber!!!

    One thing I have to add to Limes! Is they are ripe the lighter the skin and you can feel like if there's juice in there.

    Him eating the cherry is me all autumn. I'm allergic to cinnamon, and it's so annoying. Hot mulled cider, apple crisp, pumpkin spice everything, ALL cinnamon all the time in the fall. I'm glad I'm not highly allergic, because I just can't say no sometimes. My tongue will feel burned, and sometimes the roof of my mouth will blister. I might end up with some cankers, and in a few days, the skin inside my cheeks will slough off. It SUCKS, but I know it could be so much worse. I just wish it was labelled better on things, because it's always a bummer when it's a surprise. Every time I try a new bbq sauce, it's a crapshoot.
