How to Pick the Perfect Pineapple

Get a taste of the tropics with this juicy golden fruit! Pineapples are at their peak season in April through June, here’s how to pick the perfect one.

The perfect pineapple should:

  • Have a dry exterior
  • Be heavy for its size
  • Have a dark green crown
  • Smell distinctly sweet, particularly at the base

They are harvested ripe, so look for pineapples that haven’t travelled too far. (We get ours from Costa Rica.) Click here to read the unique way that pineapples grow!

To eat, cut off the crown and base, then slice off the skin carefully so you don’t lose much of the tangy flesh. The core is edible, but you can quarter the fruit and remove it if you prefer. Once you’ve freed this fabulous fruit from its spiky skin, enjoy it in one of these tasty recipes:
