Tip: If pineapple is ready, the best way to tell is by smell. If the bottom of the pineapple smells sweet, it will be ripe. If there is no smell, the pineapple is not ripe and, unfortunately, pineapples do not ripen off the tree. Also, keep in mind that a ripe pineapple may not always be yellow. Ripe pineapples can stay green. A second test to see if a pineapple is ready to eat is that there will be a little give when gently squeezed.
