    Does fresh pineapple continue to ripen after purchase?
    Community Answer
    No, once a pineapple has been picked, it ceases to ripen. It will soften and deteriorate, which some people mistake for ripening but does not improve the taste of the fruit whatsoever.

  • Question
    Should the pineapple be stored standing up or on it's side?
    Community Answer
    It does not actually matter how you stand the pineapple while you store it, however slicing and coring your pineapple and storing it in an airtight container will maintain its freshness longer.

    Does pineapple keep better in the fridge with or without leaves?
    Community Answer
    Storing a pineapple with or without the leaves will not have any affect on how long the pineapple will remain ripe and fresh.
