![]() ![]() Peeling pineapple at home will be done in very easy steps. Pineapple is offered to consumers in markets and greengrocers. When buying pineapple, you can clean the skins and chop them into rings at the place you bought them. When you want to consume it later, you can buy unprocessed pineapple and peel it yourself at home. If you want cubes – just cut like a pizza! Easy.Ĭheck out my post on making pineapple vinegar too, it makes good use of the pineapple skin. I hope this is helpful! Cheers to eating more fruits and veggies.How to peel pineapple: Pineapple, one of the tropical fruits, is a complete vitamin C store. Consuming this fruit, which is rich in antioxidants, is very beneficial for health. It is recommended to consume fresh pineapple to fight infection and germs. See, you now have rings! Beautiful – hydrating – bright – lovely rings. To make rings, find where your pineapple starts (see where I lift up) and make a cut straight down from there. The core is rich with bromelain, which has been shown to treat indigestion and reduce inflammation. Any blender, if chopped small enough, can tackle the core. Just chop it and freeze/refrigerate it for future smoothies. Remove the pineapple core from the corer buy using the blunt end of another kitchen utensil, for me it was a dull dinner knife. What most people don’t know is that you can eat the pineapple core. Use a knife to slice or fillet this – I imagine it’s like filleting a fish – even though I’ve never done that. This is what’s left of your pineapple and with just a few more cuts you can salvage some more of the fruit from what was beyond the corer.Ĭut the pineapple in half length-wise and as you can see from the side view there is about 1/2″ of pineapple that can be salvaged. Now turn that upside down over a bowl or cutting board and push down on the rings sliding them off the corer. Grip the handle and press the black buttons (there’s one on either side) and pull up. Now how do you get the pineapple rings off? Easy. Now we can remove the pineapple, set it back on your cutting board and pull up on the handle. Once you think you’ve reached the bottom, while the corer is still in the pineapple – pick the pineapple up and tip it over a bowl to collect the juice. Sometimes I slice off the bottom before I start and sometimes I don’t – it can make removing the pineapple easier. Once in place, begin turning clockwise while pushing down until you get to the bottom of the pineapple. Place the hollow part of the pineapple corer over the core. The pineapple core runs through the center of the pineapple and is a bit tough that’s why most people remove it. As you can see from my picture its not even, but the intent was there – ha. Start by making an even-as-you-can cut across the top, to remove it. I even freeze it for smoothies – yum! So, let’s get to it. A small container of pineapple is about $5-$6, instead you could buy a pineapple for $2.99 or less and spend less than 5 minutes cutting it yourself and get double or triple the pineapple than in the container. There are stainless steel ones available too for just a few more dollars.Ĭutting your own pineapple will be MUCH cheaper too. As you can see I have the plastic one and it serves me just fine. I bought this through Amazon, but I think some grocery stores carry them and also the kitchen gadget stores would too. I felt like I was in my own infomercial…it makes rings, removes the core, it even dings! Okay, not the last one but still – it’s pretty awesome. I still remember using the pineapple corer in front of my Mom and Grandma and loved how amazed they were. Here’s what the pineapple corer looks like. The pineapple corer is awesome because it removes the core as it spiralizes the pineapple, which can then be made into pineapple rings and even cubes. There’s a way to get that too – we don’t want to waste any, after all. The pineapple corer is about 3 1/4″ in diameter, so a pineapple larger than that will have fruit along the skin that is good but doesn’t get cut. ![]() I like using the knife method on larger pineapples because there’s less fruit waste. The first way to cut a pineapple is using just a knife and everyone has one of those. There are two ways I love to cut pineapple and it really just depends on my mood or the size of the pineapple. It goes like this: I liked it – became allergic to it – and because I like to torture myself by trying it off and on over the years, I now know I’m not allergic anymore – and now pineapple and I are back in love. ![]() I have a long torrid affair with pineapple. Have you wondered how to make pineapple rings or even how to cut a pineapple? You’ve come to the right place. ![]()
