Here's A Clever Hack For Removing Pineapple Eyes Without A Knife - Tasting Table

"Once you've taken care to cut the outer peel from a fresh pineapple, you might just find some brown spots from the leftover peel, which are commonly referred to as "eyes." Albeit unsightly and unpleasant in taste and texture, the simplest way to remove these eyes while reducing food waste is with the use of a spoon. This is the quickest and easiest method that will leave the most fruit intact."

"Whether using a Chef Craft Select Serrated Grapefruit Spoon or simply digging out the eyes of a pineapple with the narrow curved edge of any standard spoon, removing these tiny pieces of peel makes all the difference. While Ree Drummond's simple way to cut a pineapple still leaves some of the eyes behind, carefully digging them out with a sharp spoon is both safe and effective. With the peel and eyes properly removed,"

Fresh pineapple often has brown 'eyes' remaining after peeling that are unpleasant in taste and texture. The simplest way to remove these eyes while minimizing waste is to dig them out with a spoon, which preserves the most fruit. A serrated grapefruit spoon or the narrow curved edge of any standard spoon works well. After removing peel and eyes, remove the core to slice into rings, spears, or chunks, or leave the fruit whole for grilling. Brushing pineapple with butter, brown sugar, bourbon, and cinnamon enhances flavor for rotisserie cooking. Exercise extreme caution with sharp utensils because the fruit's acidity increases cut risk.
