I mean not that I'm not definitely gonna buy some pineapple tomorrow and try it. Worst case scenario I have pineapple to eat.

Pineapple plants are in the bromeliad family and when they flower they produce a cluster of dozens and dozens of thin pointy fruits which eventually merge together to form what we call a pineapple.

At what point is a pineapple considered ripe, anyway? I have never in my life encountered a pineapple in the grocery store as yellow/orange as the last two, but they've still been delicious.

Once they get that ripe they're softer and harder to transport.

I'm a woman, jackass. They're both lovely centrists and the "sheetcaking" thing really pissed me off. Also I don't find cringe humor funny at all so that just automatically rules out anything they do.

Artichokes are like six times larger than I thought they were. I've eaten them many times, but they were served already chopped up. I just saw some fresh artichokes at the grocery store (they aren't commonly available fresh here) and it totally blew my mind.

I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners.
The most edible part is the heart, which is very small. The leaves do have a fleshy bit at the base that can be scraped off but a mature artichoke is, like, 80% inedible matter.

I just learned that pineapples grow at ground level. I'd always assumed they were up in trees like coconuts.

It's not that hard to grow one yourself. You can more or less just cut the top off of a store bought pineapple, plant it in a pot, and wait a few years.

Same. Since apples grow on trees and I associate “pine” with trees (even though pine trees obviously don’t exist where pineapples are found) it would make sense that a pineapple grows on a tree.

They grow pineapples in Northern India and there are pine tree forests in India so... :wrong:

I don’t want to spoil it but no matter how many you already know, there are a million common fruits and veggies that grow way different from how you assumed.

Peanuts are not even nuts. They’re seeds of a bean. You grow them like beans.

my parents brought home a "Monstera deliciosa" fruit from Madeira a couple weeks ago and apparently when its ripe you peel it the same way as that up there pineapple and it gives me the greeps



also called a pineapple-banana or something, cause it both looks and tastes a bit like both, like some unholy hybrid

The general rule I learned was, if you pull on one of the leaves up top, and it comes out easily, it’s ripe.

They can still be processed this way if the place you work uses them as an offline backup :eng101:
