Did you know?
Contrary to what most people think, pineapples don’t need to sit in your fruit bowl at home to ripen. A pineapple is ready to eat as soon as it is picked and if they are on the shelf, they are ready to eat immediately. Stop judging a pineapple by its cover and your taste buds will thank you.
