Ananas
Ananas har en kunglig luft om dem, möjligen på grund av att den övre delen av ananasen kallas en "krona". Den gyllene frukten inuti ananasskalet erbjuder en rik sötma som också kan lägga till dess kungliga bild. Färsk ananas är inte bara god, den är också den enda kända källan till bromelain, ett enzym med antiinflammatoriska egenskaper.

How to select, prep, and protect your farm-fresh produce
How do you pick a ripe pineapple?
- Pineapples are picked when ripe and do not ripen after harvest. Select pineapples that are fresh looking. Contrary to popular belief, the ease with which leaves can be pulled out is not necessarily a sure sign of ripeness. Avoid fruit that is old looking, dry or with brown leaves. Avoid bruised fruit or those with soft spots.
How do you prepare pineapples?
- Twist off crown. Cut pineapple in half and then into quarters. Trim off ends and remove core from center of quarter. Using a thin paring knife remove shell from fruit. Cut into bite-size pieces. For pineapple "boats" leave on the crown and both ends on the pineapple. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Use a thin paring knife to cut the fruit out of the boats. The boats can be filled with fruit salad, sorbet, or even a chicken stir-fry.
How do you store pineapples?
- Store pineapple in refrigerator for 2 to 4 days. Cut pineapple lasts a couple of days if placed in a tightly covered container and stored in the refrigerator.
