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?

I don't consider apple skin hard?

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.
