Ify pineapples in Ratanakorn

[scubascuba3]

First time I've seen this, a seller selling pineapple which has been coloured to appear ripe and sweet but is the opposite of that. Bright yellow on the outside, dull yellow on the inside.

 

First on the left as you enter.

 

I won't be buying again, avoid, or try it and report back

Really? They all do that in Isaan. I think they soak them in sugar water

Some places in Phuket soak pineapple in sugar water.  I hate the taste when they do that.  Does pineapple really need to be sweetened?

Peeled? Unpeeled?

If unpeeled, why not buy from the wholesalers on the right hand side of the market, rather than the tourist oriented stalls?

Took a look. No nefarious activity detected. Didn’t look painted nor particularly ripe.

No. Not particularly excited by pineapple and even less by unripened pineapple.

Didn’t look that ripe on the surface either. Likely a different batch from the one that you chose.

Living the dream.  Retired and discussing pineapples.

It's general chit chat, what's your idea of living the dream? bars everyday?

It's indicative of a quiet contented life that such trivia is a discussion point!
