What do you do with pineapple core? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Just bought a pineapple for the first time. Checked a few videos and posts on internet to see how I am supposed to cut it up, everyone said to throw the core away or use it in a smoothie at best. Even my mom said to throw it away.

Anyway, I tried to eat a small amount of it, and then ate the entire core. It's pretty edible, feels like throwing out pizza crust.

Much more chewable than celeriac. Though I would label it as "Dental floss mandatory" type of food, but so is anything with poppy seeds.

So how do you use it? Do you eat it, throw it out, something else?

I've always just left it attached to the main part. My family's always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

If you want to get more out of pineapples did you can use the rinds? It's a fermented drink called tepache. It's the rinds of a pineapple, water, and a type of brown sugar called piloncillo. I've never heard of using the core in it but I dont see why you couldn't add it in. I say add because the rind is where the fermenting bacteria comes from.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.
