i cut my first pineapple today

in May 2008 Weddings
i love fresh pineapple but i usually buy it cut. today i cut a whole one and throughout the day i may have almost finished it off by myself. oops. i was worried about the amount of cals but it's only about 285 for the whole thing and besides the pineapple i ate pretty light. also it turns out you have to cut a lot of it away when you cut one. it was sooooooo good too!

    I thought you were going to say something about it making your hands break out or something. I am "allergic" to fresh pineapple. I think its more an acidity thing than and actually allergy, b/c I can eat cooked and canned.

    There's a tool that you can use to core and slice  a pineapple that actually works pretty well, but it only does the slices.

    I realized we need new knives that other day when I cut up a pineapple for kabobs. It took me for freaking ever! You're right that you end up having to cut so much off. It's hard!

    Fresh pineapple is sooo yum. St. Michael/Azores grows pineapples and they are SOOOOOOOO yummy there. I can't wait to eat one this summer. I'm sure it will be more than 1. But yea, they are a PIA to cut - very messy. I'll have to look into whatever tool Kare was suggesting.

    Here's what I'm talking about. They sell them at Walmart/Target/BB&Beyond. You need a little arm strength to do it (H has to do ours, but I'm a wimp).

    Oh and FYI to those of you TTC. Pineapple core is supposed to help with implantation. It contains an enzyme called bromalaine. They also sell bromalaine tablets if you dont feel like eating a whole pineapple core every month lol. You know us crazy infertile will try anything Stick out tongue

    ugh! i hate the hard part of the pineapple. that's probably why i cut away so much of it. i hate when i bite into a piece of pineapple and get that crunchy part.

    Oh I didnt realize it had a different texture then the rest of the pineapple. I used the bromelaine tablets since I can't eat fresh pineapple anyways.

    Well, now you've inspired me MD.  Next time I hit the grocery I will buy a pineapple (if they have them... I haven't seen them recently, but maybe I'm not looking either, hmmm).  Fresh pineapple makes me think of Hawaii - I swear I ate it every single day we were there and I've never had pineapple taste as good as it did there.

     

    Kare I've seen those slicers and I always wanted one.  I don't know why, I've never bought a fresh pineapple.  lol  Maybe I would if I had a slicer.  

    ... just another mommy blog ...

    i bought my whole pineapple for $2.99.

    I think cutting a fresh Pineapple is as much a pia as a cantaloupe.

    agreed. i love cantaloupe, too. we never ate pineapple growing up (well, we did, but it was canned Embarrassed). but we ate a ton of cantaloupe so that i've actually done many times.
