Grow your Pineapple!
Did you know that you can twist off the top of a pineapple and grow it? Before you cut the pineapple up, grab hold of the leafy top and twist hard until the top comes cleanly off.

Pop skewers into the side of the pineapple top to prevent it from falling in the water and rotting. Balance it over a glass or a little pot for it, like my cut-off juice bottle!
