Pineapple the tropical delight.

 Pineapple with its so very sweet flavor is another of my favorite fruits. Pineapple has a rough skin,
which is not edible so don't try it. Pineapple stems from Hawaii pun intended each 1 - 10 pounds interestingly enough pineapple is several small seedless fruits joined together if I can remember right they are little black seeds just under the skin. Pineapples are available all year round without a distinctive peak season. Pineapples are picked ripe as it is with most fruits except tomatoes which are all to commonly picked green and fried. The color of the shell isn't a good gauge of ripeness a pineapple may be ready to eat even when green. Choose a plump pineapple with a sweet aroma and fresh looking green leaves. Avoid pineapples that smell sour. Storing, it can be refrigerated, a whole pineapple can last up to 5 days, or slices or chunks medium dice or large dice up to 7 days. Chunks of it can also be frozen.
Pineapple can be cooked sautéed, stir fried, or grilled, and used in desserts. Pineapple makes for a good marinade because it contains bromelain, an enzyme that tenderizers meat by breaking it down. It is low in fat and sodium. Also There's no cholesterol. It's an Excellent source of vitamin C at 66% percent RDA per serving.
