You are buying shitty pineapple. To select a good pineapple:
Tug at the center most leaf on top of the fruit, it should give easily. It should smell like pineapple. The skin should be golden colored to slight green (sl underripe) or a very slight touch brown (overripe). The bottom should be dry. The very green ones that you can get for $2-3 never ripen properly as they were picked too early.

Both of those are sweet and fruit…?

I want to try the pineapples you’re getting. Ours are sweet, but that’s about it.
You tartness and sweetness are two orthogonal axes. A fruit can be both quite tart and quite sweet, like some varieties of pineapple and cherry.

Those are incredibly sweet highly acidic foods. The acid is what balances the sweet.
Lemons and limes were right there man, they were right there

Lemons and limes are definitely fruits in my culinary culture. What are they in yours, if not fruits?
