You’re losing a lot of pineapple there. I thought he was going to just do one more pass with the blade. It does look cool I guess.

I buy lots of precut fruit whenever im in southeast Asia and pineapple always comes like this. Probably the wasted fruit is worth the time saved, whats the alternative - plucking each individual circle thing?

You can just eat the circle things...

Never eaten an apple with the skin on?

Those round bits are called pineapple eyes.

plucking each individual circle thing?

That's how I do it. I soften it up a little by Rolling it on a table then pick out the little pieces one by one. Put it in a big zip lock bag in the fridge to save whatever left

That’s well and fine for home use but for a business it just isn’t worth the effort. Better to do it efficiently and put the rest in compost.

How does that justify food waste?

Edit: must be the food wasting Republicans downvoting me

It’s barely wasting any food and compost recycles it in a healthy way.

There's a ton of land, labor and other resources dedicated to farming let alone people with little or nothing to eat.

The waste is worth it for the purity of fruit

Yeah, the eyes really bring the whole experience down if you end up eating one.

It's worth the loss of pineapple if you're doing this to sell. The extra time it would take to do it in a way that preserves the lost pineapple would in fact cost you more sales and money than if you did it this way.
