When buying a pineapple look for proud, lively green tufts that don't look too aged or tired!. Give a leaf a tug: if it's ripe it should pull off easily!. also, check that the little thorny bits that stick out all over its skin are brown!. Feel the pineapple at the base: it should give a little and feel soft if it's ripe!. And don't forget to smell its strong pineapple perfume, probably more indicative of ripeness than anything!.

I smell the bottom of it!.
Obviously, don't smell the spiky leaf part cos you'll get a poke up yer nose!
Turn it upside down and you'll see the round base of the core!. Smell it and if it smells sweet, it's ripe!.
My mum and I were shopping the other week and she was looking at a honeydew melon wondering whether to buy it or not!. She asked me if it was ripe and I said "I duno!. It's like seeing if a pineapple's ripe so smell it"!. So, there's my mum sniffing a melon!. I then pointed and laughed at her going "Haha, I just made you sniff a melon!" and she went red, lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. There are two ways!. First, the yellower it is, the riper it is!. Second, tug at a leaf on the top!. If it comes loose easily, it's ripe!. If it doesn't, it's not ripe!.
