ok, i'll take the ball.
i've been buying a variety of pineapples called "golden ripe", and in the market tey start off green, then progress towards golden, then briwn.
i've found after eating dozens of them over the past few years (we rally like pineapple) the green ones are slightly more dry and less sweet, the golden/green ones are sweet and juicy, anx the fully golden/brown ones would be good for a still, and also are affected by gravity. that is that the juices in a fully golden pineapple seem to pool on whatever is the down side in which it was stored.
so no one can tell me that this variety does not ripen after picking.
i know what i've cut and eaten.
