Frequently asked questions

  • What are the best ways to cut a pineapple?

    Start by slicing off the top and bottom, stand it upright, then cut off the skin in strips. Remove the eyes and core before slicing or cubing as desired.

  • How should I store fresh pineapple?

    Store whole pineapple at room temperature for up to two days. Once cut, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.

  • Is canned pineapple as good as fresh for cooking?

    Canned pineapple works well for most recipes, though fresh offers a brighter flavor and firmer texture.

  • How do I prevent pineapple from becoming mushy in cooked dishes?

    Add pineapple near the end of cooking to preserve texture, especially in stir-fries or baked dishes.

  • Are there substitutes for fresh pineapple in recipes?

    Canned pineapple or frozen pineapple are good substitutes. Mango or papaya can also work in some recipes.

  • Why does my mouth feel tingly after eating pineapple?

    Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can cause tingling or mild mouth irritation, which usually goes away quickly.

  • How do I grill pineapple?

    Slice pineapple into rings or spears, brush lightly with oil or sugar, and grill until caramelized with nice char marks.

  • What dishes can I use pineapple in?

    Pineapple is great in salsas, desserts, salads, marinades, stir-fries, and grilled dishes.

  • Does pineapple tenderize meat?

  • How can I reduce the acidity of pineapple for recipes?
