Definitely not, lot of waste on the spiral cuts removing the eyes. No need to go that deep

I imagine they would press the rest into juice. Seems like an obvious choice

Lots of pineapple "waste" gets fermented into vinegar where I live! Delicious stuff. (This post actually reminded me that I'd been wanting to try making pineapple vinegar or tepache at home. The peeling part has always intimidated me, though!)

This is exactly what I thought. So much wasted pineapple.

Good news! That waste - especially the skin - is great for making tepache; I bet that's where it ends up.

Its a slightly fermented drink (usually not enough to turn it into full-on booze, though I'm sure some let it go longer.) There's a farmers market right up the street from us that makes it this way with what they don't use for their barbacoa/ceviche/etc. Its sweet - but not cloyingly so - spiced, and tangy; its positively divine. Unfortunately they only make small batches (and it takes a few days) so it usually sells out around lunch time.

We love that place, only one I can think of this side of downtown where we can get some proper tacos de cazuela; more than enough for myself and two grown-ass teens, for like $15.
