- Malaysia: all year; Philippines: all year. Fresh-crop months by origin.
- Which country's MD2 is best in October?

- How do I pick a ripe pineapple?
- Smell: Sweet at the base. No smell means unripe, a vinegar smell means overripe. Leaves: A centre leaf that pulls out easily is a good sign. Feel: Firm with a slight give, heavy for its size. Avoid: Soft, dark or weeping patches.

- Counter whole, fridge cut. Lasts 2–3 days whole, 4–5 days cut. Pineapple doesn't sweeten after picking. Stand it upside down for a day to spread the sugar.
