How to tell if pineapple is ripe?
Answers:
It will have a yellowish cast in between the spines, not "greenish", and it will smell like pineapple. If the yellowish places are turning brown, it's overripe.
Smell, if it has a strong sweet pineapple smell it is ready.
the only way you can tell is by smell smell the pineaple and if it smells like pineaple its ready you also want to look for a dark yellow color
Check the bottom. It should be soft to the touch and smells like pineapple.
if it smells sweet it is ready
Definitely smell....also heard that if the leaves on top pull out easily, it's ready.
Hi, well I believe the first thing you do is look for a good size pinnapple, then look for reeally good spikes you know the things on the side, then you thump it with your thumb if it sounds like it is solid and it smells sweet then it is ready. good hunting.
1. It smells pineappley
2. One of the spikey leaves can be pulled out fairly easily
3. It feels heavy for its size.
If you can pull out one of the pointy leaves easily, the pineapple is ripe and ready to eat.
