Pineapple Core Removal

Removing the green stem from the top of the pineapple is the first step to finding the core. Slicing the brown peel around the entire pineapple is the next step. Slice the whole pineapple into four equal rounds, and look at each section for a circular, small woody center. That's the pineapple core. It's edible, but tougher than the flesh that surrounds it. You can remove the core with an apple corer or a sharp knife.
