Ripe Pineapples

Ripe Pineapples at the Hilo Farmer's Market. You have not had pineapples until you have had hand-picked, uber-ripe pineapples at the Hilo Farmer's Market. They ran about $3 each and were so ripe you could smell the fragrant sweetness wafting around the market. They were absolutely succulent! If you're ever in Hilo, the farmer's market is officially open on Wednesdays and Saturdays and, in fact, has vendors present most days until around 4pm.
