I love the sweet and juicy taste of pine apple. But every time I eat it it feels like my tongue got burned. It's all numb and everything I eat afterwards loses its taste, somehow..
Does anyone know of a simple solution to this problem?

unripe pineapples have killed many ;)
Kidding about the death rates
Permalink Reply by Mystiquem on So how do you tell when a pine apple is ripe (except for when it doesn't burn your tongue, that is)?
Permalink Reply by Heidi Noelle on You can tell a pineapple is ripe by the color (it should start to look yellow/orangish), the scent, and if you pull on a leaf from the center it should pull out easily.
I have this problem too i have to make sure pineapple is very ripe when i eat it. The burning feeling can also be due to how acidic it is.

heres some visuals as pictures are often better

Permalink Reply by Raw Zombie on unfortunately lots of pineapples are picked way before they can ripen properly so lots of serious fruit heads don't buy them unless they have a good source.
Permalink Reply by Mystiquem on Oh, thank you. I will definetely try this before I eat a pineapple again! :)
Permalink Reply by ednshell on If you don't live where they are being grown or have them flown directly to you from a known source, then it's very unlikely you will find a ripe one and they don't ripen once picked. If a fruit burns your tongue then it will burn your insides, do not eat! The only exception I know of is the fig, the skin will burn your lips unless you touch the inside to your lips before the skin touches it.
