Before we delve into knife skills, let’s talk about selecting the right pineapple. The peak season for pineapples usually runs from March to July, and finding a good one depends on its ripeness when you buy it. Look for fruit with a yellow rind instead of green, which is a good sign of ripeness. Another tip is to pick it up and smell it from the bottom. If it has a sweet and fresh aroma of pineapple juice, then it’s ripe. On the other hand, if there’s no smell of pineapple, it’s not ripe yet, and if it has a fermented smell, it’s over-ripe.
