harvesting pineapples
You can also harvest pineapple when it is in the late mature green phase, or when it is full sized. You can then ripen the pineapple at room temp. Donât refrigerate it until it is completely ripe! Refrigerating an unripe pineapple can ruin the fruit. To harvest the pineapple, simply cut it from the plant with a sharp kitchen knife where the pineapple joins the stalk.
