They say that if it works, it’s not stupid. The only problem with that is that if you often end up looking for any solution to a problem, you’re likely to be the kind of person who plays chaotic characters in Dungeons & Dragons.
But it’s these exact people who find wild and exciting solutions to otherwise non-problems that make everyone think ‘huh, I should try this’ cause why not.
And you bet the internet has been looking for solutions to how to properly eat a pineapple, of all things. While traditionalists use a knife to cut up a pineapple into smaller, more manageable pieces, turns out there’s another way to consume a pineapple, and it requires just your bare hands.

While this trick has already taken the world by storm back in 2019, it’s still bewildering the lovely people of the internet with its ingenuity.
So, most people cut up a pineapple using a knife, whether it’s in slices and removing its hard shell, or further cutting up said slices into smaller, bite-sized pieces, all the while also removing the core, or if you’re barbaric, you scoop it out with a spoon. All of it.
But have you ever noticed how the pineapple has these hexagonal shells? Turns out, they are all individual pieces of the citrus flesh found inside. And yes, they can be disassembled like you would with an orange.

Of course this discovery has been messing with people’s minds on the internet and everyone’s been testing it out to see what kind of sorcery this is.
The goal here is to be able to eat the pineapple piece by piece, breaking off each individual part by pulling on the shell. However, this came with mixed results when put to practice.
As people cut off the top, they proceeded to break off the meat and it would either break off in a spike shape, or would just break off at the skin. This may be indicative of the fruit not yet being ripe enough to be consumed in this way, as most fruits are easier to break apart if ripe.
So, hence, you can actually eat pineapples piece-by-piece

Bored Panda got in touch with nutritional expert Anne Cundiff, RD, LD, FAND, for more information on pineapples and this very peculiar way of eating it.
“Pineapples are so appealing because they are stunning pieces of fruit, with the golden yellow body and, of course, the regal crown,” explained Cundiff. “I also think there is an exotic feel around pineapples because they are grown in the most beautiful, beachy and tropical places around the world. The most delicious pineapples are nature’s candy, both sweet and tangy. They are not only a stand alone fruit but can be used in tons of recipes—anything from salsas to cocktails.”
