In Season: Pineapple. by Toby Amidor in In Season, December 29, 2009. This delightful fruit brightens up savory and sweet dishes â especially during the dreary winter season. Read up on the many benefits and versatile uses of this tropical treasure.
Shell color is not necessarily a sign of maturity or ripeness. A pineapple can be ripe when it is practically all green outside. The plantation calls it âgreen-shell ripe.â Shell color of ripe fruit are divided into seven groups or levels ranging from No. 0, all green, to No. 6, all yellow. A pineapple will not ripen any further â get any sweeter â after picking. It is sugar that makes pineapple sweet after ripe. The sugar comes from the conversion of starch reserves in the stump at the time of ripening. Fresh pineapples from Hawaii are picked at maximum ripeness for delivery to U.S. markets.
