Sweeter Pineapple

When ripened, whole fresh pineapple can be stored at room temperature for 1 or 2 days but is very perishable so should be consumed as soon as possible. It can be placed in a perforated plastic bag and stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. It can be peeled and then sliced or cubed and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days. Sliced or cubed pineapple can also be frozen if stored in an airtight, freezer bag in its own juice, but when frozen, it has a tendency to lose some of its flavor.
