How to Pick a Pineapple and why?
Buying a fresh pineapple is not as daunting as it may seem. The most important thing to remember in determining ripeness is smell. Your nose will help you decide. If you’re sick and can’t smell anything that day, well you can squeeze the eyes, usually a soft eye means a ripe pineapple lies beneath. But it’s important to be able to smell it, if you can’t have someone you’re with try giving it a whiff. A well ripened pineapple will omit a sweet and tropical aroma. Store your pineapple at room temperature until you’re ready to carve that baby up!

If you’re looking to give your body a boost then try adding fresh pineapple and pineapple juice to your diet. The pineapple is nutritionally jam packed. This aromatic tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which play major roles in the body’s healing process.
Bromelain acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and encourages healing. The amounts of bromelain contained in your typical fresh pineapple can also help to relieve indigestion because the enzyme helps to properly break down proteins.
Pineapples also provide an good supply of vitamin C. Vitamin C is probably the most commonly known antioxidant and immune system booster.
