Philippine Pineapple

These pineapples are one of the most popular and delicious tropical fruits with a distinct sweetness and also have a faint tangy citrus-like sourness. The Philippines is second among the major pineapple-exporting nations in the world, ranking after Thailand. They are packed either lying on the side or in an upright posture, then transported worldwide in non-refrigerated vehicles for local distribution, or through sea or air transport for export.

STORAGE

Pineapples don't keep ripening after they've been harvested, but the enzymes that make them so soft also lead them to rot rapidly. A whole pineapple may be kept on the counter for a day or two, but slice and store it as quickly as possible to keep it at its freshest. After being cut, fresh pineapple will last two to four days in the refrigerator. Even in an airtight container, it will turn brown, so soak the pieces in orange juice to keep them looking fresh.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Because a pineapple is coated with a tough dinosaur-like skin, it might be hard to discern what's occurring on the inside. But colour, scent and feel will considerably assist you choose an excellent one. Good pineapples start off with firm green skins and progressively acquire a dark yellowish tint. The fragrance of well-ripened pineapple is sweet and fragrant. When the fruit is ready to be eaten, it'll yield only a small amount under hard pressure.
