Pineapples are known as fresh fruit because they are rich in water content. On the other hand, this fruit is also liked because it has many benefits for the body. Reporting from health.clevelandclinic.org, pineapple is high in vitamins and minerals to help fight inflammation, improve digestion, lose weight, and so on.
Pineapples are also easy to find in traditional markets, fruit shops or supermarkets. After bringing pineapple home, sometimes many people are confused about how to detect the ripeness of the fruit flesh. If you make a mistake, the pineapple you consume might still be sour and have a hard texture, you know.
One of the easiest tricks is to observe the color of the skin. If there is more yellow than green on the skin, usually the pineapple is ripe. On the other hand, the celebrity chef known as Vindy Lee explained that you can actually detect whether a pineapple is ripe by inhaling its smell.
He also did the same thing to another pineapple. Apparently, the leaves or crown are still hard enough to be removed. This means that the pineapple can be left alone or marinated until it is completely ripe before peeling and eating. "This is a bit difficult, it's still not mature enough," he stressed, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @vindyleetiktok on Wednesday (31/7).
