According to agricultural expert Wu Rui-Zhong, during the pineapple season, individuals can select sweeter and less acidic pineapples by choosing ones with a smaller 'pineapple heart' visible at the end without leaves. Wu also advises checking for any bruising or signs of excess moisture to avoid consuming contaminated pineapples. Different varieties of pineapples offer varying levels of sweetness and enzyme content, with smaller hearts indicating higher sweetness and finer flesh, while larger hearts contain more enzymes. Pineapple enzymes have been recognized for their digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, found mainly in the pineapple heart, encouraging consumers not to discard this nutritious part. Additionally, ripe pineapples store starch that transforms into soluble solids, making the fruit taste sweeter over time. Wu warns against consuming overly ripe pineapples with excessive moisture, as they may pose food safety risks due to potential bacterial contamination.
