Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- pineapple
- knife
- bowl
- refrigerator
-
Step 1
Cut the pineapple up into chunks. Be careful to remove the brown skin. There are little spines on the skin that if left on can cut your tongue making it more sensitive to the acid and enzymes in the pineapple.
-
Step 2
Put the pineapple chunks in a bowl with room for air to flow around the chunks. It seems to work best when the pineapple is exposed to the air, so don't put a lid on it.
-
Step 3
Put the bowl in the refrigerator and let it sit over night. I'm not sure why this works. Obviously there is a chemical reaction going on, but what exactly it is, I don't know. If anyone knows what's going, please post a comment.

Step 4
After it's sat for a while, the pineapple should no longer burn your mouth. I don't know why this is.
