How To Make Your Pineapple Extra Juicygetty

Pineapple truly is the taste of summer.

When the sun's out there's nothing better than a platter of the stuff (try it sprinkled with chilli and mint, trust us it's delicious), and with the warmer weather on the horizon, we've taken it upon ourselves to do some pineapple-related investigations.

One hack in particular has been doing the rounds on TikTok, and if it works, it really is a game changer when it comes to making the most out of the summery fruit.

TikTok creator @austin.tronzo last month revealed that the best way to make sure your pineapple is extra juicy and sweet is to store it upside down.

Austin explains in the video that the best way to make your pineapple ripen faster is to remove the spiky leaves at the top with a twisting motion, then flip the pineapple on its head.

She explains that you can see that pineapples are usually nice and yellow on the bottom where all the juices have been flowing as it's been stored that way, and letting it sit upside down for a day or two before slicing into it makes sure that the pineapple is nice and juicy all over.

Game changing, right?

The video has over 4.4 million views with TikTokers thanking Austin for her genius hack. Although, some were surprised the hack didn't involve infusing the fruit with Malibu or other summery spirits. This doesn't sound like it would make a pineapple any juicier, but it sure does sound like a heavenly summer treat.
