Comfort Food - 15 Pineapple

Pineapples are a unique tropical fruit. Their name might be a bit misleading as they have no relation to pine trees or apples! But they are so much more than just a misnomer. What makes a pineapple special? It could be their spiky outer skin, or their incredibly sweet and juicy center. Let's get to know these friendly fruits better! Did you know pineapples are like little adventurers? They seem to have a penchant for exciting activities. Imagine, they'd love hang gliding and spelunking! Many of them could even be celebrated cobblers or watchmakers in a fun world. When they're not off on wild adventures like BASE - jumping into an active volcano in a private jet, they're trying amateur rocketry. So, give a pineapple a hug and befriend one. It'll likely lead you to wild and over - the - top adventures that have nothing to do with pines or apples!

Using a pineapple is super easy. First, wash the pineapple under running water to clean the spiky exterior. Then, cut off the top and bottom. Stand it upright and slice off the skin following the curve of the fruit. After that, cut it into chunks. You can eat it fresh, add it to fruit salads, or use it in smoothies. When storing, keep whole pineapples at room temperature for a few days. If you've cut it, put the pieces in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be careful when handling the whole pineapple because of its spiky skin. And remember, the eyes on the pineapple are edible but can be a bit tough, so you might want to remove them for a better eating experience.
