While pineapple is traditionally not an American fruit, and I have never known it to have to have a season. It seems pineapple has officially become a summer fruit (although I see it year round). Pineapple is definitely the essence of summer time. Pair it with coconut and you got yourself a pina colada to enjoy in this heat!
While I love pineapple rings, I prefer cutting pineapple into chunks, it’s much easier and quicker to dive into the fruit. Oh did I mention Pineapple Kombucha is the BOMB!!!
What You Need:
Pineapple
Chef Knife
Cut the sides and skin off the pineapple. Make sure you skin the pineapple very thin, to keep as much fruit on it as you can.
The core is in the middle, you want to cut around the core to get all the juicy pineapple without the hard part! I learned that if you let the pineapple ripen, you can see the core and avoid it as your cutting the sweet fruit away from it.
The core is pretty thick so as your cutting the pineapple away from it, be careful you may get a piece of it in your pineapple chunks
What a great post Shundara! Love pineapples and we usually have fresh pineapples on hand since my lil guy is a big fan. I don’t have a corer so we like cutting them into chunks too 🙂 These step by step photos are so helpful 🙂
Great to see your starting him out young, eating pineapple 🙂
Pineapples are the hardest to cut but so worth is when you get to the sweet center!! I love this tutorial and this beautiful bright and yellow pineapple! Great tutorial – pinned!
