Cutting and peeling a pineapple can be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with the process, but with the right technique, it becomes much easier. Here’s a step-by-step guide on the best way to cut and peel a pineapple:
- Select a ripe pineapple: Look for a pineapple that has a golden color and emits a sweet aroma from the base. The leaves should be green and fresh-looking.
- Prepare your tools: You’ll need a sharp chef’s knife and a cutting board.
- Remove the crown: Place the pineapple on its side on the cutting board and firmly grip the crown (leafy top). With a swift motion, cut off the crown, ensuring you remove about half an inch of the top along with the leaves.
- Slice off the bottom: Turn the pineapple upside down and slice off the bottom, removing a small portion of the fruit’s base.
- Stand the pineapple upright: Position the pineapple upright on the cutting board.
- Remove the skin: Starting from the top, slice downwards, following the curve of the fruit, to remove the outer skin. Ensure you cut deeply enough to remove all the spiky eyes (brown spots) but minimize wasting the flesh.
- Cut into sections: With the skin removed, you now have a cylindrical pineapple. Lay it on its side and cut it into slices of your preferred thickness. Alternatively, you can cut it into quarters or smaller chunks.
- Remove the core: Pineapple cores are fibrous and less enjoyable to eat. To remove the core from each slice, you have two options: a. Make a small diagonal cut at the center of each slice to remove the tough core. b. Use a round cookie cutter or a small knife to cut out the core from the center of each slice.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the pineapple slices or chunks on a platter, and they’re ready to be enjoyed as is or used in various recipes.
