How long does pineapple last?

Pineapple is a tropical fruit that typically keeps well at room temperature for a few days after being harvested. It’s best to store it in the refrigerator if you don’t plan on eating it within a couple of days as this can help keep it fresh longer. In the fridge, it should last for about a week. It’s important to note that pineapple is already ripe when it arrives at the store, and there’s no opportunity for further ripening. So, if you purchase a pineapple that’s already harvested and losing its juiciness, it’s already overripe. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a pineapple that feels heavy for its size and has a really green crown, indicating it’s fresh.
