Pineapple is sold both fresh, in canned and frozen form. With the last two options, everything is clear: the fruit is already cut into small pieces or half rings, which can be put in salads or added to sweet and sour sauces. If you buy a fresh pineapple, you must first choose it correctly, and then - cut so that it is convenient to eat.

Instruction manual
1
Wash the pineapple under cold water, dry. Lay it horizontally on a cutting board. Cut off the top with leaves, grabbing 1-2 cm of pulp. Do the same with the bottom of the fruit. Cut off pieces - discard.
2
The simplest option - without removing the pineapple from a horizontal position, cut it into rings of 0, 5 - 1 cm thick. Each of the rings can then be cut in half. Eat, using a fork and knife, or - hold the pieces in your hands, gnawing the flesh to the very peel of the piece.
3
Another way of slicing pineapple is more time-consuming, but more convenient to use. Place the fruit on its base vertically. Cut the peel into strips - from top to bottom. The remaining "eyes" cut with a knife. Cut the fruit vertically into 4 parts. Cut a hard core at each part. Then chop the peeled pineapple pulp into small or large pieces.
4
If you want to cut pineapple as effectively as possible, do not cut off the green top and bottom of it and do not peel the peel. Place the fruit on a horizontal surface. Make two vertical cuts along the entire height of the fruit. It should turn out 4 large pieces. Cut the flesh from each knife with a knife. Finely chop it. Put in the "boat" from the peel.
note
You need to be able to choose the right pineapple. His pieces on the skin should be all of the same size, the dry spines on these scales should be brown. Otherwise, all this will be signs of ripe fruit. If the bottom of the pineapple is soft or the leaves on its top are pulled out poorly, then this fruit is also not worth buying.
Useful advice
The knife must be sharp. It is best if it is made of stainless steel.
