Pineapples
I love pineapples but I'm always too lazy to cut it. My husband likes to buy a pineapple for prayers every two weeks. When it gets over-ripe, I would usually throw it away. Sometimes, I would give it to my workers. If my mum is around, she would cut it and put the pieces in the fridge. She loves pineapple too. But I don't eat as I don't like plain fresh pineapple. I prefer it with sauce as in rojak.
Recently, I visited Kay's blog about cutting a pineapple. Her method was so easy so this morning I made it a point to cut my pineapple..
here's a big ripe pineapple
cut off the crown and the base
cut it into 4 pieces
peeled the skin away
sliced off the cores too
cut them into pieces
I just stir-fried some of them with garlic, prawns and Maggi chilli sauce.
I practically finished the whole plate with some rice.
The rest of the freshly cut pineapple pieces were given to my worker.
Pineapple fruit contains a
proteolytic enzyme bromelain
that digests food by breaking down protein. Bromelain also has
anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and anti-cancer properties. Studies
have shown that consumption of pineapple regularly helps fight against
arthritis, indigestion and worm infestation.

Thanks for the tips, from now on would not need to throw them away.
ReplyDeleteLOve pineapples too, just too messy but now with your tips will surely buy more
It was not messy at all. I would cut more pineapples in future.
DeleteNow you made it look so easy to cut... :)
ReplyDeleteI finished cutting it without struggling. You should try it.
DeleteThank you for the link and mention, Wenn. Don't forget that if you twist the crown off you can plant it and grow another pineapple.
ReplyDeletethanks, Kay! Will do that next time.
DeleteI love pineapples!! Now I will know how to cut them! It looks so easy with your guidance!
ReplyDeleteNot many men like pineapple like we do. Bananaz loves pineapple too and even more on the cutting especially in the old slanting way of getting rid of the 'eyes'. Yummy
Deletecutting the eyes in a slanting way takes time. So I omitted that, just cut straight.
DeleteYou really gave me a new recipe too! I often buy canned pineapple to eat because I am lazy to cut them. I wanted to order the slicer from Dealmates online but they are not advertised anymore! I hope it will come back soon!
ReplyDeleteNext time I will cook them too!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteyes TM, it's very easy to cut it. Just give it a try. It's much healthier than canned ones.
DeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteGive it a try, Lina.
DeleteI love fresh pineapple too but rarely buy it!
ReplyDeleteIt smells good too.
DeleteI love to eat pineapples - fresh or cooked with other things. Just love the tangy taste.
ReplyDeletePineapples are nice to be eaten.
DeleteThis way is much more easier!!! =]
ReplyDeleteyes, just try it.
DeleteGood afternoon Wenn...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteI hardly take pineapple...
ReplyDeleteI prefer papaya... hehe...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day ahead...
ReplyDeleteI hardly take pineapple too as I don't like to cut it. But now we have an easy way so I should be eating pineapple more frequently.
Deletewell, here the pineapple vendors are just
ReplyDeletegreat in pealing such fruit, they could do it in a few
seconds and you'll get the pineaple whole still
anyway, i tried that way but i just can't
ReplyDeletebut as I see how you did it, i realize
that I was a fool not having thought of such way haha
stir fry with garlic? hmm I can't imagine how it tasted
ReplyDeletebut im sure it was great,
anyway, we also have some dishes on which we can get
to use pineapples tidbits as ingredients
But there is this dessert which reminds me of such fruit the most
ReplyDeleteyou will cooked those with a lot of brown sugar which will
eventually turn into syrup
that sounds tasty. Anyway, I love anything with pineapple.
Deletehave a great day and happy blogging wenn
ReplyDeletetake the best of care and god bless you alwayas
Like to eat them raw with fine salt.
ReplyDeleteused to do that but not anymore. Prefer it with rojak sauce.
DeleteI love pineapples too!
ReplyDeleteBe it cooked or just raw, but cannot eat too much, it's quite 'cooling' for us lady ;)
But your plate of pineapples looks very appetizing la!
Deletetrue, we can't eat too much at one go. That's why I gave away the remainder.
DeletePineapples remind me of Sheoh Yan. She loves pineapple very much.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't eat pineapples.
ReplyDeleteBut I've learn from my mom how to cut the designs on the pineapples.
DeleteMy mum said it is not nice if can see pineapples eyes... hahaha...
DeletePineapples make every dishes very tasty and juicy. But I just don't take it. hehehe... Where else I take other things but not the pineapples. Usually I gave it to my mum, hubby or friends...
ReplyDeleteVery strange right? I order pineapple fried rice but I won't eat it... hehehe
DeleteFor praying, we usually don't choose too ripe one. Green one the better and let it ripe day by day. Eventually you can smell the pineapple fragrant...
ReplyDeleteSame goes to banana...
DeleteYour plate of pineapples with prawn is very delicious. I'll just taste the gravy and the prawn ok?
ReplyDeletePineapples are good cook with curry and kerisik.
Deletepineapples are tasty when cooked. Why don't you try it? well, my boy just won't take it too.
DeleteMy late mommy loved to cook dishes with pineapples, nowadays we barely eat them...perhaps too difficult to cook?
ReplyDeleteIt's not difficult to cook.
DeleteVery cool way of removing the skin. Didn't know it could be don't that way with pineapples. I do that with dragon fruits.
ReplyDeleteWith pineapples, in fact I enjoy cutting out the eyes in a row but now no need for that with your method. Thanks for sharing.
yes, it's so much easier doing that than the traditional style of cutting.
