Nothing beats fresh fruit on a hot summer day, and none is better than a delicious pineapple. Dole/Tropical Fruit Distributors of Hawaii Inc boasts premier pineapples to satisfy your hunger and offer you refreshment. Located out of Honolulu, they distribute across the country, providing delectable tropical fruit for all of your summer occasions.

Once you’ve picked out the perfect pineapple at your local store, you might be uncertain about how to properly cut one. Dole/Tropical Fruit Distributors has outlined the process to easily cut pineapple, allowing you to enjoy it quickly:

• Step 1 – Twist off Top: Grasp the leafy part of the pineapple with one hand and the bottom portion with your other hand. Turn them in different directions and pull off the top part.
• Step 2 – Cut into Quarters: Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple into four different pieces. Breaking it down into these pieces will make it easier to cut the pineapple and give you a better grip.
• Step 3 – Core and Peel Skin: Take the quarters, slice off the core, and remove the skin. This will leave you with four large pieces of edible pineapple. Discard the core and skin in a trash can.
• Step 4 – Cut into Cubes: Take the quartered pineapple pieces and cut them into cubes. They can be any size you like. Transfer them into a bowl and put them out for everyone to enjoy.

After a bit of practice, cutting a pineapple will become second nature and shouldn’t take too much time. Fresh pineapple and other tropical fruit are a great addition to summer gatherings and days at the pool. They are also a perfect ingredient for tropical smoothies and can even make great gifts, as they’re excellent in fruit baskets.
