In essence, you are looking for a good appearance pineapple and one that appeals to you by sight.
First step
The first thing we will do is to boot the Crown of leaves of the pineapple itself. Es best do it by hand before which the knife, since it is more natural and we will be able to obtain the roots of the plant. If we do it with the knife we damage it and run the risk of not to curdle its growth.
Excellent, now what we are going to do, it is possible remove pulp from the Crown. This part of the pineapple is the area from which it can get new fruits, hence we have to clean it well for getting the roots back to emerge.
