Pineapple

Peak Season: March to July

Perfect Pick: Look for vibrant green leaves with a bit of softness and a sweet, fragrant aroma from the stem end. Avoid spongy fruit with brown leaves and/or a fermented odor.

Handle with Care: Keep a pineapple with a weak aroma at room temperature for 2 to 3 days until it softens slightly. Then refrigerate for up to 5 days.

The Payoff: Bromelain, an enzyme with potent anti-inflammatory powers.
