Commonly Asked Questions

Can I grill unripe pineapples?

It is not recommended. In fact, it is known that unripe pineapples can be toxic when consumed. Luckily, most commercially sold pineapples are already ripe – so there is no need to worry. If you are unsure, try asking your local farmer’s market seller for ripe pineapples, or buy them in fresh packets at the grocery.

Can I add more coating other than sugar and cinnamon?

Our grilled pineapple recipe comes perfectly in a sugar and cinnamon mix. But you can definitely add your own twist or other mixes to your liking. Try using honey in place of the sugar for a richer sweetness. You can even add a dash of hot sauce to add more zing to your grilled fruit. Feel free to experiment and add on more to your desire.
