How can you tell when a pineapple is ripe?

Answer 1

When I choose a pineapple I look for one that is yellowish, but the top green parts are green. Then I gently squeeze it, you don't want one too hard or too soft. Most importantly, I smell of it. If it doesn't smell like pineapple it probably won't taste very sweet.

Answer 2

Step 1Wait for your pineapple plant to produce a flower. A pineapple plant takes approximately two years to produce a flower after it's been planted, according to Texas A&M University. The flower will emerge from the center of the pineapple crown. Step 2Pound a 3-foot stake into the ground adjacent to the pineapple plant once the plant produces a flower. Insert the stake 12 inches into the soil, so that 2 feet are above the ground. Use garden twine to loosely tie the pineapple flower stalk to the stake to support the developing fruit. Step 3Inspect the fruit. For the best results, the University of Florida recommends letting the fruit turn yellow while still connected to the plant. The yellowing process starts at the base of the fruit. A pineapple that's ready for harvesting will be yellow almost to the top of the fruit. The maturation process may take up to six months from the appearance of the flower, according to Texas A&M University. Step 4Harvest the pineapple. Grab the pineapple fruit in one hand, and cut it off of its stalk with the opposite hand. Suitable cutting implements include a knife or pruning shears.

If the pineapple is yellow/orange. The lines between the "pores" must not be green any more. Also it may smell a bit more like pineapple. To use, grab hold of the base of the leaves, and twist until comes off. Cut off bottom part and top. Set on bottom base and cut skin off sides. Slice and enjoy.
