Food Lover’s Tip of The Week Competition
Win a R500 voucher with Food Lover's Market
The prickly pineapple with its waxy leaves is an irresistible tropical fruit. The short-stemmed plant takes an average of two years to produce a maximum of 200 fruits. Pineapples are a popular fruit used in various dishes and can be
consumed fresh, cooked, juiced, or preserved.
Charles Finlay, store manager at Food Lover’s Market Westgate, gave us some helpful tips to keep pineapples fresh and tasty for longer.
He says when buying pineapples one should look out for a yellow base, green leaves at the crown and the fruit should also feel firm, proving that the pineapple is ripe. Pineapples are best stored at room temperature but if necessary refrigerate pineapples after two days to soften them. In addition, placing pineapples in the refrigerator extends the longevity of the pineapple.
