How to choose mango, pomelo and pineapple to avoid wasting money

Exotic fruits are not only very tasty, but also quite expensive, so you should know how to choose them correctly when buying them so that the taste does not disappoint you.

Pineapple

There are two ways to choose a pineapple: by the tops and by the skin.

Choosing a pineapple by the tops:

The density and easy separation of the upper leaves of the pineapple indicate ripeness. A yellow top indicates that the fruit is overripe.

Choose a pineapple by the skin:

A ripe pineapple is softer to the touch than an unripe one. But it should not be too soft, as this indicates that the fruit is overripe. A crust with dark spots also indicates that the fruit is spoilt.
