Brilio.net - Pineapples are synonymous with their sour and sweet taste. This fresh fruit is often consumed directly as a snack. However, pineapple is also usually processed into various kinds of food or drinks, such as desserts, fruit ice, and mixed cooking sauces. The sweet and sour taste really gives a delicious sensation when eaten.
So, when you want to buy a pineapple, a number of people usually choose the yellow fruit. Yellow pineapple skin is often seen as a sign that the fruit is fully ripe. But did you know, not all yellow pineapples taste sweet, you know. Many people find that the pineapple they buy is astringent and very sour when cut.
So, you actually need to know the tricks for choosing a sweet and perfectly ripe pineapple . Luckily, an Instagram user @cutsyansyahnan once shared a trick for choosing a pineapple so that it is really sweet, aka not mistaken. Through one of his uploads, Instagram user @cutsyansyahnan shared a number of characteristics that need to be considered.
"After trial and error, sorry, I wasn't fooled hehehehhe.
"This is based on my own experience, I used to sell pineapple, so I often bought pineapple," said Instagram @cutsyansyahnan.
Reported by BrilioFood from the Instagram account @cutsyansyahnan on Wednesday (19/6), the first thing to pay attention to is the pattern on the pineapple skin. If the pattern tends to be large and wide, this is a sign that the pineapple is ripe. Meanwhile, if the pattern is narrow and small, usually the pineapple is still unripe and the taste is astringent or very sour.

Apart from the skin pattern, the shape of the crown also has a big influence, you know. Ripe and sweet pineapples have an upright crown and the color of the leaves is bright green. If it is still light green or wilted, it means the pineapple is not yet ripe.
The next characteristic when choosing a pineapple is to weigh its weight. The heavier the pineapple, the sweeter the fruit tends to be. Not without reason, heavy pineapples tend to have more water content, so they taste sweeter.

Lastly, don't forget to smell the pineapple. If the aroma is sweet enough, it means the pineapple is ripe. On the other hand, avoid pineapple that has no aroma or has a strong aroma like vinegar. Usually this is a sign that the pineapple is no longer fresh.
