How to cut a pineapple

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae . The pineapple is indigenous to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. Further, it is the third most important tropical fruit in world production. In the 20th century, Hawaii was a dominant producer of pineapples, especially for the US; however, by 2016, Costa Rica, Brazil, and the Philippines accounted for nearly one-third of the world’s production of pineapples . (from Wikipedia)

Nutrition

Raw pineapple pulp is 86% water, 13% carbohydrates, 0.5% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). In a 100-gram reference amount, raw pineapple supplies 209 kilojoules (50 kilocalories) of food energy, and is a rich source of manganese (44% Daily Value, DV) and vitamin C (58% DV), but otherwise contains no micronutrients in significant amounts.

So how should we cut the pineapple ?

Bite into fresh pineapple and you can almost taste the sunshine. But the pineapple’s spiky crown, the tough, prickly rind — a whole pineapple can seem inhospitable, an impenetrable fortress. So we rarely bother to buy them. But we should. Because a fresh pineapple is easy to cut up. And so worth it.

First , we should know how to choose a nice pineapple .

There are three things to look for when picking out a pineapple at the market:

The crown should be bright green

The rind should be firm but yield to slight pressure

The base of the fruit should smell fragrant

It’s perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from slicing, dicing, and chopping to rocking cuts.
