1001 ways to cut a pineapple...

Another yet to go on...

Sunday February 21. Beautiful sunny day.

There zillions of ways to cut up a pineapple for eating. This is one that I use, it is quick and easy, for me.

Do not ask me how to tell if a pineapple is ripe. If it smells sweet and is not soft on the bottom and without soft spots on the side, it's good for me.

You need a big heavy duty sharp knife, a bowl and a cutting board, plus clean hands.

I twist the top off.

I then cut the top and bottom off, into good pineapple, no hard stuff left on.

I then cut in half.

I then cut in quarters.

I then cut into 1/8's.

Next cut off the pithy core, in a strip.

I then cut to the husk in desired bite size.

Like so!

Next cut off the husk, as close as you can without the black bits, women don't like them!

Presto, Magico!

There is a tremendous amount of waste in a pineapple so be prepared for that. Keep in a covered bowl in the fridge.

By the way, it is not a bad idea to have a glass of water after eating pineapple, they are acidic and can sometimes make your mouth and gums sensitive. The water neutralizes the acid.

And now you know, if you didn't already!
