Using food science to make delicious meals for you.

During my studies, I learned about food technology and how food is delivered from “farm to fork”, putting the focus on providing safe and wholesome food. After college, I pursued a career in nutrition product development, creating healthy food, beverages, and children’s products for people around the world.

And now, I enjoy developing recipes in my home test kitchen and love nothing more than experimenting and unraveling the science behind better, healthier cooking and sharing that with you.

Instructions unclear. I am drunk and in a foreign country. The locals are trying to sell me seal meat.

Pineapples are the greatest fruit hands down. A perfectly ripe mango comes in a close second...

But I never knew the trick with the leaf. I find going by colour is the most reliable method of the other 3 mentioned. Plus this way you don't have to sniff the pineapples ass at the supermarket like a weirdo lol. But I just aim for a pineapple that is about 70-80 percent yellow with a bit of green left and it's always perfect. The smell test and squeeze test is a bit less reliable and harder to be accurate unless you know exactly what a ripe pineapple smells and feels like.

You did a great job presenting everything in the video but I’m not sorry to say this buuuut that fruit ain’t ripe edible yes ripe hell no you wanna how to tell if it’s ripe go look at an art pineapple drawing painting digital I don’t care ask yourself m what color is it? Yellow and maybe yellowish orange why? Because it’s ripe! And that’s the color it’s supposed to be but the pineapple in the video 😢it’s way to green your gonna get the acid taste that burns your tongue ASAP eating this even if you cut out the core and don’t eat it it’s not your fault either it’s just the way it is because stores get the fruit unripe farmers have to pick it super unripe so it doesn’t go bad on it’s way here and by the time it gets here it’s half way ripe but still unripe if you want a ripe one live in a tropical state or go to a specialty fancy grocery store or an Asian store or any store that sells foreign foods Asian Jamaican African Mexican go to those places or just shop online yes sometimes it can be more money but the taste is the best and once you taste ripe fruit you will never go back or be the same and if someone serves you fruit you will always be able to tell the difference one bite of someone’s bought and served unripe pineapple will have you spitting it out in the trash because you will never forget that one pineapple you bought yourself that tasted so good it was like candy if not better it’s a curse really but this is not a ripe pineapple there should mostly yellow or orange as much yellow or and orange as you can get on it and there should be hardly any green… just saying the truth here…

How am I supposed to know what ripe or green smells like?

[glacialimpala]

What if the leaves come out easily but it's completely green in color?

[DevinSmith]

Man I wanted pineapple so bad but its not ready yet

And your pineapple will be sour to taste..it looks unripe.

i pray to pineapple 🍍. you really want less green and you want it a bit soft and if it's ((slightly)) fermented - that's God tier flavor then stick it in the FREEZER not fridge but FREEZER for 2-4hrs no more then 5hrs or u loose the flavor. then cut the core and you'll be in a trance if you do it right.
