Step by Step

1
When you are in the supermarket or market, look for pineapples with a plume of bright green color and, above all, notice that when pulling the leaves they come off easily.
2
Avoid pineapples that have watery or soft parts or yellow leaves.
3
Use your smell - if the pineapple gives off a fruity aroma it means that it is good. On the other hand, if it emits a 'fermented' smell, it is already gone. If you do not dismiss any odor, it may still not be at your point.

Another way to know if the pineapple is ripe is to squeeze it slightly, if it releases a little juice, it is ready to eat!
