Do you know how to peel pineapples?

So as you know, my aunt gave me a lot of veggies fresh from her mini-farm. We couldn’t cook everything and I was afraid they might just get rotten or something so I gave some to my neighbors. They wanted to pay money but of course I refused. Then this morning, a neighbor gave this giant pineapple to me. She said it’s a thank you present for the veggies. I was speechless because I wasn’t really expecting anything. I love pineapples so I thanked her profusely. Do you like pineapples? Photo is of the giant pineapple.

I love pineapples. A long time ago I mostly ate them from a can. But now there are always pineapples at the supermarket.

@sol_cee You can go the "professional way", you can find YouTube videos for that. Then there is the easy way that I use. Remove the crown and the bottom. Cut in half, then again in half and remove the peel as you would do for a watermelon.

I like pineapples, but I don't know how to peel it. I ever found a tool to do so online but I haven't bought it. Since here usually the seller will peel the pineapples for you. If not, my husband will do so

Kindness reciprocated with kindness

. Oh yes, we love pineapples! I have read that it is good for coughs too (my husband has a chronic cough). My kids will gobble it up. I use a cleaver to chop off all the top and peel, so it's not too much trouble.

Now you gave me an idea. I thought it’s a little complicated to peel pineapples because of their ‘eyes’

When I was young, my mother would always give pancit or something to our neighbors whenever we had birthdays and our neighbors would also do the same. Guess it was common in the countryside?

I can/will eat a little bit of pineapple but don't like that pineapples can eat you back. After a small bowl, my tongue/mouth can hurt for several days. I won't eat it very often. Maybe once every few years.

@sol_cee Yup! I think the chemical is called bromelain and it breaks down proteins. It essentially breaks down the inside of a mouth and tongue...

Omg, how true! They do eat you back! I learned the hard way when I was young. My mom bought this fresh pineapple and I wanted to gobble as many slices as I could but the pineapple ate me back lollll
