How Can I Tell When Golden Pineapple is Ripe?

Depending on the type of pineapple, it may be perfectly ripe when the scales are green. In the event that you want to be extra sure that you have a sweet pineapple in your hands, opt for one with yellow scales. If it gets darker than yellow and starts to turn orange, your pineapple fruit is overripe. Give your golden pineapple a little squeeze. If it feels a tiny bit soft, the flesh has been ripened. You can also smell the bottom of the pineapple fruit. If it is fragrant and sweet, it is ready to be eaten.
