The next step is where some of your elementary schooling comes in. Yes, and you didn’t think learning your 5 senses would come in handy in life.

Pick up the pineapple, flip it over to the bottom and smell the bottom of the fruit for a sweet, but definitely not a fermented aroma. If the smell has a greenery/grassy smell then it’s not very ripe yet.
SIGHT:
The outer part of the skin and leaves should have a slight shine. The skin and leaves should not look dull.
TOUCH:
The skin should feel slightly firm but when you press it, it should give a little. Next, pick one of the leaves from the middle section of the pineapple and if it comes out easily, the pineapple is ripe and ready to eat.
Once you get home with your pineapple, refrigerate it for a few hours, but make sure you turn the pineapple upside down while it’s stored in the refrigerator. Storing the pineapple upside down will allow all of the juices for flow into the meat of the pineapple. The pineapple will be much sweeter and juicier.
