You seem to know a bit about pineapples. I recently bought a pair that are still a little green. When I checked their coloring just now, I noticed there was white mold growing on the bottom! Are pineapple like strawberries, where they mold if they're bad? Should I return them to the store?

[YourProduceGuy]

@cnuminen Mold is bad. How long have you had them? If you've had them for a while they might not take them back at the store. If it's only been a short time I would return them. Otherwise, if you can't return them I would go ahead and cut the bottoms off of the pineapples and then break them down as shown in the video and refrigerate the fruit until you use it in the next couple of days. That would be my advice. YPG

thanks- I always end up throwing my pineapple out when the green top gets dried out because i suspect it's gone bad. I see I have been wasting my money!!!

[YourProduceGuy]

@wink360 Glad that was a help to you!

[YourProduceGuy]

@RosalindandPearls Thanks for watching!

@MrGreatAndrew Perhaps the answer to why you subscribed is yet to come! Good things are happening here, so be patient my friend. Good things come to those who wait! Glad you're aboard.

dont throw away the tops!!! after you twist them off, peel about an inch of leaves off the base and you will see it has roots, then plant the top in the soil and it will grow another pineapple plant!! it will even produce a flower and another pineapple in about 12-14mo.

who opened that door? see the red jaggard paint? lol Great video thanks. Will go and fix our pineapple now.

Sorry, but the concept is wrong. Pineapples do not ripe after harvested. It means that if they were not harvested at the right time, they’ll never become sweeter, just less sour.

@downsizer1 I thought the same thing.... kind of unscrupulous and why would he say that in a video and call it a "money saving tip"? Kind of putting his stamp of approval on cheating re: "when the produce guy is not watching". This diminished my opinion of him....
