Question

Accepted Answer

According to Healthline, "A ripe pineapple should have a firm shell but be slightly soft with a bit of give when you squeeze it. Pineapples that are completely solid or hard when squeezed are unlikely to be fully ripe." We've also found that once they start to turn a little darker brown (and smell ripe when you sniff the bottom), they are just right!
