| It's my first video post! And, it's about my favorite fruit: Pineapple! |
"Carrots are Nature's candy." Screw carrots, pineapples are truly Nature's candy. That's just something the Carrot Lobby has been pushing to get us all to see better. I'm mean, seriously, carrot cake is barely even cake. It's a vegetable bread masquerading as a dessert.
Pineapples are naturally sweet without the aid of sugar, great for you digestion, and smell great when you accidentally spill the juice on your shirt. Carrots are orange.
As this is my first time filming a video I cannot promise you perfection. I did the whole thing in one take because I'm lazy and afraid of editing equipment. That being said, I think it came out pretty well and it will hopefully give you the confidence to cut up your own pineapple instead of just relying on the canned variety.
Unfortunately, my card filled up before I could show you what I did with the pineapple top (hence the weird ending point). But, it's pretty simple.
What You'll Need:
- Pineapple top - Not to be confused with a muffin top or apple bottom.
- Hands - Doesn't have to be your own. The small nimble hands of child labor will do just fine.
- A glass - A jar is okay if it's big enough.
- Water - Tap water will work if you cannot walk 3 miles to the village well.
1. Pull off the leaves closest to the bottom of the pineapple top. You want to strip away enough that you don't have leaves soaking in water. Soaking leaves leads to mushy rot water.
2. Put water in the glass.
3. Put the pineapple top in the glass of water.
4. Take a nap because you've exhausted yourself.
I will probably need to transfer my pineapple top to a bigger water receptacle later, but this will do for now. Once a good root system starts to form I will transfer the whole thing to a pot. Ideally, it will start to grow and a couple of years from now I will have a wonderful pineapple plant. Realistically, it will probably die by the end of this week because I am the Plant Grim Reaper.
Now, about that rind...
