When buying a fresh pineapple reach into the green stem part and pull a leaf. If it comes to easy it's over ripe, to hard under ripe. You can it to have a little tug and then come out.
Notice the bottom of your pineapple always gets over ripe first, try this.
The next trick is when you get it home turn it upside down on your counter. You can lean it against a wall or container. This way all the sugary juices run to the top of the pineapple spreading out the yummy juices for a more uniform ripeness.
Trust me! This works and you'll save lots of your pineapple that may have gone bad before you cut into it.

Great Idea! Good to know about the pineapples! How do you know if a watermelon is ripe? I have heard you knock on it and if it sounds hallow it's sweet....
Doesn't always work for me though.
And did you know that there is a pineapple slicer? I actually got mine and Wegmans and love it! I think I am craving your mango/pineapple salsa. Yum!
Fantastic! I hate picking bad fruit! For a good watermelon: Look at the end that was attaced to the vine - it should be yellow/white, not at all green. Find on that has a lot of places where the skin looks split, like it has brown scratches. And if you have 2 of the same size - always go with the heaviest one!
