How to Cut A Pineapple

Pineapples are known for their fragrant, bright yellow centers and their hard exteriors. They can be used in a number of recipes and are a naturally sweet summer treat.


Despite their deliciousness, a lot of people don't know how to cut pineapples. Well, good news! This technique is super easy:)

To start, you need to test that the pineapple is ripe enough. You can do so by pulling one of the center leaves from the fruit. If the leave easily comes out, it is ripe and ready for cutting.


If ripe enough, I suggest removing the top and bottom of the pineapple. Then, slice downward to remove the skin. Be careful of the remaining brown spots on the skin, you may have to go-over it again. Continue to slice until you're left with only the yellow.


I like to cut downward into 1-inch slices. Be weary of the core, which can typically be seen in the center of the fruit. When I have all the slices, I dice them into bite-size pieces.


There you have it: a tasty and nutritious treat!

Do you have a special pineapple-cutting technique?
