H ow to P ick the P erfect Pineapple There are a lot of myths about picking out a fresh pineapple. It's really very easy. Just remember that pineapple from Hawaii is always ripe and ready to eat. Here are a few dos and don’ts that will help you select your own perfect pineapple. D O N 'T worry about shell color. The shell color of a sun-ripe pineapple from Hawaii may range from green to golden. Optimum ripeness is deter­ mined by field testing for sw eetness-not by shell color. D ON’T thump the pineapple or pull leaves from the crown. These old wives tales are not an indication of ripeness. DO look for a bright, fresh crown and plump firm fruit and avoid pineapples with large brown spots or bruises. DO refrigerate your pineapple if you do not plan to use it immediately after purchase. Unlike most fruit, pineapple will not ripen once it has been picked, since it has no starch reserve to convert to sugar once it is harvested. P O R TLAN D OBSERVER .
