[Tips for selecting sweet pineapples]
1. Golden color, not too dark
Pineapple is also a tropical fruit. Tropical fruits have a characteristic that they are golden in color when mature, such as bananas, mangoes, high-quality, durian, pineapple, etc. They are green when immature and turn yellow when mature.
If it is green and yellow, it means it is not fully mature yet. If the color is too yellow, turning into dark yellow, it means that the pineapple is overripe. This kind of pineapple is easy to deteriorate, often has a sour and alcoholic taste, and has lost a lot of water, making the flesh soft and unclear. Better pineapples are generally all golden yellow (less than 10% of the green part is okay) and bright in color, so they taste crisp and sweet.
If there is a lot of cyan part, it is not recommended to buy it. It is usually sour and has little moisture.
2. The bottom is white and fresh, not yellow or black.
Pineapples belong to polyflora . Each plant only bears one fruit in the center. It is cut from the bottom when harvesting. If it is a pineapple that has just been harvested, the bottom must be relatively white and look very fresh.
If the bottom has turned yellow, it means it has been harvested for a while. If the bottom has turned black, don't worry, it must be a pineapple that has gone bad. The inside will be broken after cutting it, so don't buy it. The "core" in the middle of the pineapple that cannot be bitten is actually the flower axis . If the circle at the bottom is smaller, it means the flower axis is thinner and the pineapple has more pulp.
3. The leaves are long and green in color.
Pineapple leaves also undergo photosynthesis, producing sugar, organic acids and other substances. If the leaves grow longer, it means they receive more light, are rich in nutrients, and contain more sugar and water. , tastes crispy, sweet and juicy.
If the leaves are shorter, it means they are underdeveloped, have less nutrients in all aspects, and taste sour.
The greener the leaves, the shorter the picking time and the fresher pineapples. If the leaves have wilted and turned yellow, it means they are no longer fresh.
4. The fruit eye is large and uniform.
The fruit eye is a popular term. As mentioned above, pineapple is a flower-containing fruit, which is composed of many ovaries and flower rachis. Each ovary finally forms the fruit eye. The fruit eyes are large and uniform, indicating that the previous flowers were well developed, received sufficient light, and contained more sugar and moisture. The fruit eyes are small, indicating stunted growth and a sour taste.
