There are so many unique talents in this world that definitely deserve some recognition. Talents can be as unconventional as one can imagine, such as crushing rice grain and eating with chopsticks. These talents tend to captivate audiences with innovative exploration, showcasing the world’s most unknown talents. One such unique talent has gotten a place in the Guinness World Records. A man sets a record for cutting a pineapple in record time.

USA Man Sets Record For Pineapple Cutting

A man from California, Rich Ellenson, has set the record for the fastest time taken to peel and slice a pineapple. The feat achieved through precision and technique took just 17.85 seconds. The video of this record was posted on Guinness World Records’s official social media handles. Here’s the video!

According to the instructions, the pineapple had to measure a maximum of 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) on each side after removing the peel and core. Ellenson demonstrated his skills in the video, cutting the pineapple into equal sizes and celebrating his achievement. Rich broke the previous record of 27.07 seconds set by Oscar Lynagh in 2022.

On this record’s video, the caption mentioned that Rich Ellenson enjoys pineapple, buying three every weekend and eating one a day in a single sitting. However, he has learnt that pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that tenderises meat, and excessive consumption can also tenderise the tongue.
