Golden Pineapples have a consistently sweet flavor, bright golden color and juicy texture. They can be eaten fresh, cooked or juiced. Pineapples never become any riper than when they are harvested. The best test to know you are selecting a ripe pineapple is the smell test. If there is no scent, the pineapple is probably not ripe. If the pineapple smells sweet, it's ready to eat. Avoid pineapples that have an alcoholic or vinegar taint as they are over ripe. Pineapples transform everyday dishes into an extraordinary treat. Enjoy one today!
