Can't tell pineapple and "fengli" apart? 3 tricks to tell them apart easily and never get it wrong again
Are there people like Hua'er who have eaten pineapple and "fengli" for years but still can't tell which one is the pineapple and which one is the "fengli"? A few days ago, Hua'er asked a friend who sells fruit to find out, and today I'll share with everyone 3 tricks to tell pineapple and "fengli" apart, so next time you won't be afraid of mistaking them.
1. Appearance-based method
You can tell directly from its leaves: the leaves of a pineapple have serrated edges and are rather prickly to the touch, while the leaves of a "fengli" are relatively smooth.
You can also tell from the color: a ripe pineapple's outer skin is on the yellowish side, while a "fengli" is darker and leans more green, giving a quick impression of not being fully ripe.
2. Flesh-based method
When we go to buy a "fengli" or a pineapple, we basically buy ones the seller has already peeled, and rarely buy untreated ones, so you have to judge by the flesh. If, after the skin is removed, it still needs to be cut with a knife into one groove after another, that is a pineapple; if only the skin has been removed, then that is a "fengli". The flesh-based method is very easy to use for telling them apart.
3. Taste-based method
Different fruits will certainly have different tastes. The flesh of a pineapple is sweet but cloying, and the closer to the center, the more so. If you bring your nose closer, there is also a sweet fragrance. Also, after eating a lot, your mouth feels numb and stinging, so the fruit shop owner will sprinkle some salt into the pineapple to reduce this.
A "fengli", however, tastes sweet without being cloying, soft and juicy, and no matter how much you eat there is no numbness or stinging. What it gives off is a fresh fragrance that makes you feel relaxed and refreshed, and it is very good for perking you up.
That is all for the differences between pineapple and "fengli". If flower friends have anything to add, you can share it with everyone in the comments section below. To learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
