Is this pineapple ripe enough?

I will wait for a few days.

@arunima25 The pineapple can't ripen anymore. It's still green.

@dya80dya Yes. You have to. Keep checking so that it's not overripe.

@dya80dya I eat it only from can.

@mrki444 And from can is cooked? I think it's cooked and it doesn't have so many vitamins.

Me neither. It's the first time.

@dya80dya I think it depends very much on how unripe the pineapple was when it was picked and how long it's been in storage. It will keep for quite a while at room temperature and, provided that it was beginning to ripen, it should continue to do so once picked. It's certainly worth trying. Bananas give off a lot of the gas which encourages most fruit to ripen, so they are usually very good to put with anything like apples, tomatoes, stone fruit or any other fruit which is mature but not yet ripe. That should also work with pineapples. Most pineapples are not fully ripe when they are picked because, by the time they get to the market, they would be spoiled. Give it several days in the company of bananas or apples and see what happens. It should begin to turn less green, starting at the stem end. Smell it from time to time and you should detect that pineappley smell getting stronger and, when you press it with your fingers, it should give slightly. If nothing much seems to have changed in a week, it's probably not going to ripen. It might be worth, then, cutting it anyway and stewing it gently with sugar. It won't be as good as ripe pineapple, of course, but it might be usable as a pie filling.

@owlwings It started to smell bad. I left it in a warm room with bananas. It's not going to ripen. Unless other fruits pineapples can't ripen after they are picked up. I think it's not going to ripen.

Thanks for the advice. I have bananas. Do you think that it will ripe? I read that pineapples don't ripe properly after they are picked. I think I wasted money with this pineapple.

@dya80dya It will be ripe, do not worry.

@LadyDuck Now the pineapple smells bad and it does not ripen. I read that they can't ripen after they are picked up.

I will leave it in my room. I hope it will be ripe. If not I wasted money.

No, they don't have a tag.

@dya80dya that is too bad.Where did you get it from?

@amadeo I took it from a hypermarket.

No problem. Do you eat pineapples?

@Moon24 And did you like them? Were they sweet?

@dya80dya Yes sometimes but in box. I tried once or two times fresh pineapples.

I think it's not ripe. I can't eat if it's not ripe.

I agree. It's too green.

Me neither. It's the first time.

No problem.

@dya80dya OK Good Morning
