just check out the butt of the pineapple. if it's a little yellowish then it's ripe. the discoloring from green to light yellow till light orange tell that the fruit is ready to eat.

If you want a more definitive method, a new tool is on the market, called a ripefruitgauge.com. It indicates the firmness inside a number of fruit without cutting them open.

How do you ripen lemons quickly off the tree?

I don't know about quickly, but you turn a pineapple on its top and leave it on the counter for a day or two. It should smell sweet when ripe. If you leave it in a brown paper bag, I think that makes it ripen faster. It's also really easy to tell when it is ripe. Pull gently on the leaves towards the top or center and if the feel loose or come out it is ripe. Hope this helps some. Pulling on the leaves of a pineapple will not tell you if a pineapple is ripe, its just a urban myth.


How can you tell if a pinapple is ripe?

I like mine perfectly ripe. I know its ready when I pick it up and smell it. It will smell sweet and ripe. Sometimes it will smell sweet but it doesn't have the ripe smell and I don't cut it just yet. Don't cut into it too soon, it might be sweet but have some sourness too. When the smell is ready, the pineapple usually has a dark green color, and the leaves are starting to brown. Be careful how you store the pineapple waiting for it to ripen. If stored wrong, the bottom can start molding. If that happens you can cut it off but you will have less pineapple to serve. Store it on a rack, like a cooling rack used for hot baked goods. That way air can flow freely around the pineapple.

Can i eat cheese with gastritis?

You should be fine. Pineapple is an alkaline fruit and should not be a problem. When trying new fruit you should test a small quantity first and see if your stomach reacts. Always try to eat the fruit as ripe as possible as an under ripe pineapple may trigger some indigestion. Gastritis diets recommend an 80% alkaline intake.
