How To Cut Pineapple

1. Cut The Top Of The Pineapple

There are two steps to check a pineapple is ready to eat. First, remove one of the biggest green leaves on top of the pineapple. If the green leaf was removed easily, then proceed to the second step.
The second step is to look at the bottom of the pineapple. If the bottom looks moldy, then the pineapple is ready to cut.
Going straight to cutting, cut the top part of the pineapple, the top part with the hard green leaves.
