After you have pulled out the core of the pineapple with the pineapple cutter, you can use the shell as a cup to hold the juice or smoothie mixture or you can save the pineapple in the freezer if you are not ready to use it right away. Another thing you can do with the pineapple shell is cut it up some more and remove the excess pineapple further with a knife or eat straight from the hull.

Blueberries and grapes are washed with veggie wash or you can use vinegar or lemon juice as well just to name a few other ways to clean your fruit. I like to soak my fruit in water with a drop or two of bleach. I call this Jewish cleansing.  Once I'm done scrubbing the fruit I rinse off fruit in a strainer or colander. Then I transport the fruit into sealed airtight  containers. These types of containers help preserve the fruit longer. You can also seal fruit in mason jars as well. Enjoy~
