To determine if a pineapple is ripe, you can use a few methods. First, check the color of the pineapple’s skin; a ripe pineapple should have a vibrant golden color. Next, I usually squeeze it. The pineapple should have give slightly without being too soft or mushy. Finally, I smell the base of the pineapple; if it is ripe, it will have a sweet and fragrant aroma.
