HACK: DON’T BE AFRAID OF MR. PINEAPPLE, SMILE!

​Hey, if you know how to prepare a pineapple, then this hack is not for you. However, if you don’t know how to and would like to venture in doing it, then this hack is for you.
 
The best thing of prepping the pineapple at home is that you are 100% aware of the cleanliness that occurred while preparing it. At the grocery stores, the pineapple comes already prep and peeled in a container. However, this process is handled behind doors and I want to think that the handler’s hands are clean, that their plastic gloves are not cross contaminated, etc. Doing this at home will take you few minutes and peace of mind.
 
If you follow my slide presentation, you will notice that it is pretty simple:
 

1. Cut the top and the bottom of the pineapple.
2. Cut the peel off from the top to the bottom with a serrated knife carefully and don’t be afraid of cutting deep into it, so that you eliminate the pineapple eyes, (all those little tough brown things, smile.) It is so worth it because at the end you will not have to remove them one by one.
3. Then cut it in the middle to have 2 separate pieces and make it easier to cut the edible part of the fruit from the center core. Then discard the core.
4. Place in an air tight container and refrigerate, it will last about a week, that is if you don’t eat it before that.
5. Enjoy your nicely done job.
