Pineapple happens to be one of my absolute favorite fruits. Yesterday they were on sale at my local Whole Foods (2 for $6) and I decided to grab a pair. When I got to the checkout counter, the gal asked if I would like her to remove the tops for me. I said yes and watched as she gave the leafy bit a firm twist.
Once the leaves had been popped off, she told me an amazing tip: she suggested I store the pineapple upside down. This helps the sweet juice that has accumulated on the bottom during shipping, flow back to the other end.
I've often wondered why one side of the pineapple is sweeter than the other, and it looks like I finally discovered why! So tell me, did you know this trick already and do you think it works?

Neat - I never knew that. I just recently found out that the top of a pineapple could be twisted off and now I think it's the coolest thing (but I'm easily amused).
1i never knew that! makes total sense now.
2aw now I have a craving for pineapple and brownies! (not baked together, just eaten together)
I will have to try this out tonight (:
3lol i don't know if that's a legitimate tip. remember that pineapples grow in the one direction, so it's not like anything sinks to the bottom....
4Cool tip. I think I'll try it the next time I get some pineapple.
5The same tip works for tomatoes. You can get a couple days of counter life out of them by tipping them.
6Good to know!
7I didn't know this, so thanks!! I love pineapple too...one of my favorites in the summer.
8Yum...pineapple! I'll have to try that tip next time I have one!
9I've done it before and it helps keep longer.
10love the pineapple!
