Should a whole uncut pineapple be refrigerated?

No, a whole uncut pineapple should not be refrigerated. Pineapples are tropical fruits and are sensitive to cold temperatures. Refrigerating a whole uncut pineapple can cause it to lose its flavor and texture, and it can also lead to chilling injury, which can cause the pineapple to become mushy and develop brown spots. It is best to store a whole uncut pineapple at room temperature in a cool, dry place. If you need to store the pineapple for a longer period of time, you can place it in the refrigerator, but it is best to cut it up first and store it in an airtight container.
