How To Peel a Pineapple

I love pineapples as do many other people, however, not everyone knows how to peel a pineapple!  The most common way people peel a pineapple is to hack off the skin deep enough to remove the entire pit.  However, if you take a little extra time, you can use the spiral cut method and save quite a bit more of the fruit.  It is a little known fact that each pineapple plant only produces just one pineapple per year!  Along with that,  we consume pineapples much earlier than when they reach full maturity.  A fully mature pineapple takes two years to grow and, if left alone, usually reaches 20 lbs!  Below i call out some key points in the video and the times where they occur.

  • Remove the bottom :26
  • Leave the top stem :56
  • Remove outer skin 1:30
  • Remove pits at a diagonal 3:25
  • All pits removed, view the spiraled pineapple 5:25  (5:36 close-up view)
  • Cut into rings  5:47
