> The core of the pineapple is yummy. It’s more work to chew, and for about 50% of the pineapples out there, you end up having to spit out the pulp (I think it has to do with the age of the pineapple maybe?) but it’s incredibly sweet and juicy.

I also love the core. And I chew it and swallow it. But my wife won’t let me peel it because a few traces of hull don’t bother me at all. So she does it but has learned to save me the core.
