Tips: This peeling method is not good. It may be a little wasteful of pulp. It's not recommended.
Marinate pineapple before eating. Because pineapple contains an 'pineapple enzyme', which can break down proteins. If we eat it directly without saltwater immersion, this enzyme will stimulate the oral mucosa and the tender epidermis of lips, which will make our mouth feel a little tingling. Salt can inhibit the activity of pineapple enzyme. Eating pineapple soaked in salt water will reduce the stimulation of pineapple enzyme on our oral mucosa and lips.

1. Choose a pineapple with golden skin and fresh leaves. Clean the surface with clean water. Cut off a pineapple head.
2. Cut off the pineapple and peel it. Don't cut too deep, about 1cm. Don't waste the pulp. Roughly cut the remaining pineapple eyes, then continue peeling. Until all the skin is roughly cut off.
3. Cut off the 'small eyes' on the pineapple with a knife. Because the position of 'small eyes' is uneven, whether it is a horizontal cutting or a vertical column cutting, they are not on the same line, so oblique cutting is the best. It's hard to clean the holes in the pineapple.
4. Carefully observe the distribution rules of pineapple eyes on pineapple. Take a small fruit knife and gently remove the pineapple eyes with an inclination of 45-deg. Use a knife to shave up the hole in the pineapple. Shave the other side in. In this way, you can take out the hole. In this way, the pineapple thorn on a hole is taken out. Finally, use the same method to shave the rest.
4. Cut the pineapple with 'small eyes' into 4 pieces, remove the hard core, and then cut into pieces.
Method 3: if you have a pineapple cutter in your house, it's easier to 'dig the eyes' for pineapple. You can let it do it. Other steps and a glance in method 2 above. Find a 'small eye' at the top of the pineapple, and then turn it under the syncline, cutting and turning the pineapple. This is basically the way that pineapple sellers use.
Method 4: buy a pineapple special tool, it's simpler.
1. Cut off the head of the pineapple.
2. Place the tool vertically on the top of the pineapple, in the middle, or the skin will be peeled off together.
3. Turn the tool clockwise until it reaches the bottom.
4. Lift the tool up until the peel and pulp are completely separated.
5. At the same time, press and hold the two black dots on the tool, split the handle and the knife body, and remove the pineapple pulp. At this time, you will find that the pineapple core has been cut into circles with the same thickness.
This artifact is more suitable for cutting the pineapple or pineapple (green peel pineapple) that is a little bit harder, and the pineapple that is a little bit softer with too high maturity. It's hard to cut it into pieces.
