How many times have you cut into a pineapple, only for it to be pale yellow, dry, and painfully tart? To add salt to the wound, pineapples are one of those fruits that stop ripening as soon as they are harvested.
But I’ve had a pineapple go soft and yellow on my counter! you say. OK, heard—but that color and texture change is actually not an indication of the same climacteric ripening that apples, bananas, and melons undergo. Pineapples can change color and grow soft with time, but it will only be as sweet as it was the day of harvest, green and hard. So: All the more pressure to pick a good one.
