Choosing a fruit in the store, many with pleasure represent how it will have it, what will be the taste and smell ... But what disappointment is waiting for those who bought a bought fruit! Bananas, of course, easily divert on the window, but bought a bad pineapple - a waste of money, because the torn pineapples do not suffer. Therefore, planning to buy pineapple, do not be lazy to learn how to choose a ripe and delicious fruit by external signs so as not to get to you. In the article, we will look at the main indicators of pineapple ripeness and dangerous signs, talking about staggering or rotting Pineapple.
1
To begin with, appreciate the smell of pineapple. If the fetus exudes a sweet scent - this indicates that it is ripe. Fruit without smell Surely unwanted. However, too strong fragrance will indicate that the fruit is rotting or will soon begin to rot. In addition, refrain from buying pineapples with fermented or artificial smell. Fruit should smell nice, gently and sweetish.

The second step will be the visual definition of ripeness of pineapple. The fact is that most varieties have a yellowish color when achieving the right ripeness, so they are easy to distinguish them. However, not all green pineapples - unhealthy, some species are not yellow at all. If it is difficult to determine the ripeness in color, focus on the fresh look of the fruit: it should not be sluggish, wrinkled, appreciated or, on the contrary, too small and kuts. Of course, do not be lazy to carefully inspect the fetus on the signs of rot - you may not notice the formation of mold or softening the fetus.

Foliage is also a good ripeness indicator. Maybe even the best indicator than the peel. Ripe pineapple leaves are healthy, green and look fresh. Naturally, yellowing leaves are not the best sign for pineapple. Such a fruit is unlikely to please you with good taste. Unripe pineapples can give a hard and obviously young foliage, which cannot be disdicted without difficulty. However, the leaves are easily disappeared from the top - a sign of hidden rot.

Now pay attention to the form, the weight of the fetus, the structure of the peel and its elasticity. Nice pineapple will have a non-hard, but elastic, springing peel. The premises and too soft peel, which does not hold shape - a good reason to leave such a fruit on the counter. The relief of the peel of a healthy fruit should be pronounced, and black eyes in the middle of each shield - a good indicator of mature pineapple.

It is important to pay attention not only to the size, but also by the weight of pineapple, since these parameters do not have a direct relationship from each other. By weight it is easy to determine the juice of the chosen pineapple. Take two fetus you liked the same size: the one that is harder is more juicy.

Save the freshness of the fetus will help proper storage. Having cleaned pineapple, do not rush to cut it if you are not going to eat right now. The larger the pieces - the longer the pineapple can be preserved in the refrigerator. You can not cut it at all or divided into four parts, then the fruit will last for a week or two. You can make yourself a pleasant surprise for the winter - cut the fruit to more or less large pieces and freeze. This method allows you to preserve Pineapple for six months, and the large size of pieces will not let him lose its aromatic properties.
