Let’s face it: pineapples are weird. They look weird, they’re weird to cut into, we can’t figure out where they come from or how they grow but thankfully the below 9 amazing facts will not only prove just how awesome pineapples are, they will also demystify the sweet fruit forever.
– It takes almost 3 years for a single pineapple to reach maturation.
– Once harvested, pineapples don’t continue to ripen; That means that every single pineapple in the grocery store is as ripe as it will ever be so don’t buy one and save it for a week, thinking it will ripen. The difference in colors is mostly based on where the pineapples were grown so a green pineapple can be just as sweet and delicious as a golden brown one.
