Depending upon the size of your pineapple you may end up with fewer or more pineapple slices.
Cutting your pineapple slices at ¾” will make it easier to flip them on the grill.

What does a ripe pineapple look like?

Of course, it almost goes without saying that when choosing and buying a pineapple, you would go for the ripe one.

Here are some of the things you should look for when spotting a ripe pineapple.

The first feature you have to look for is the color of the bottom of your pineapple.

If it is either green or yellow, then you’re almost good to go.

However, if it is already brown, you should not even take a second glance at it.

Now if it is either green or yellow, things can get a little tricky.

Contrary to popular belief, green does not necessarily mean that fruit is unripe.

For this very reason, you are going to have to utilize your sense of touch as well as smell to avoid further confusion.

Similar to what I said above, all you need is do some sniffing as well as some squeezing.

A ripe pineapple must come with a sweet scent and when you squeeze your pineapple, it must not be mushy.

Preferably, the pineapple must be firm.
