Pineapples are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, and they just taste so darn good! I never used to buy whole pineapples because I was intimidated by them - pathetic, but true. Then my friend Hallie whipped out her pineapple corer one day and sliced some pineapple for the kiddos at lunch...in less than a minute. My mom got me one for Christmas, and life hasn't been the same since. Now when I see a stand of these prickly dudes, I confidently approach and grab one to add some variety to our fruit rotation.
Slice off the top and place the corer over the center of the "meat"
Twist the device until it reaches the bottom and then lift the fruit out of the skin
Mine comes with a slicer that can then be easily pushed down to cut the pineapple into bite-size pieces. If you are uber creative, you can then use the empty skin as a funky fruit bowl, or even a vase. Soooo Martha.
