Try pulling one of the fronds from the center of the crown — if it slips out easily, you know the pineapple is good and ripe.
Past that, look for a fruit that feels heavy for its size.
Look for a pineapple with a greenish tint to the flesh, though this is far from the most important sign.
Another good sign to look for is a symmetrical pineapple.
Smell is a great signifier, so look for a pineapple with a a nice sweet, floral smell emanating from it’s base that doesn’t smell overripe or fermented whatsoever.
Keep whole pineapples at room temperature to maket them last them longest.
