scubascuba3 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Really? They all do that in Isaan. I think they soak them in sugar water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerve Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Some places in Phuket soak pineapple in sugar water. I hate the taste when they do that. Does pineapple really need to be sweetened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If unpeeled, why not buy from the wholesalers on the right hand side of the market, rather than the tourist oriented stalls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a different batch from the one that you chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
