Fresh pineapple is a favorite treat in my house. The hungry boys love that it's so naturally sweet—eating it plain is one of their favorites—and I love that its natural sweetness makes it a great addition to everything from smoothies to juices to muffins. Often, once you add pineapple, you can cut down on the other sweeteners. And, as much a I love eating local fruit, I live in NYC where having a few, delicious all-year-around fruits is a lifesaver. (Thank you, pineapple.)
The only bummer is having to cut them. At least, it used to be—but not anymore thanks to this quick tutorial on how to cut pineapple like a pro in 5 easy steps.
