Why Pink?
Grown in Costa Rica’s ideal climate and soil, the Pinkglow® pineapple is the result of over 16 years of meticulous development by Fresh Del Monte. The result? A pineapple with a uniquely low-acid flavor profile, candy pineapple aromatics and unique pink flesh. Pinkglow® contains lycopene, a natural pigment that gives some produce (like tomatoes) its red color, which makes this pineapple pink! Lycopene has been associated with numerous health benefits, such as antioxidant properties including vitamin C.

What sustainability measures is Fresh Del Monte taking?
You’ll notice that Pinkglow® arrives without a crown. This is by design. Fresh Del Monte replants each pineapple crown in an effort to increase the volume of Pinkglow® pineapple crops and reduce waste.

Gold Pineapples have superior taste compared to other common pineapple varieties. The exceptional flavor of the Gold Pineapple is due to its perfect balance of low acidity and sugar content ratio. The result? Excellent flavor in every bite. No wonder this spiky tropical fruit is considered the world’s best tasting pineapple.

When selecting a Gold Pineapple at the grocery store, choose one that has vibrant green leaves and a firm shell that yields slightly when squeezed. Let your nose lead the way; a distinctive pineapple aroma should be present. If you want the best of the bunch, go with the pineapple that feels the heaviest; this typically indicates water content and that a juicy flesh awaits.

How to cut a Gold Pineapple: Cut off the crown and base. Cut off the sides and trim the eyes. Cut into quarters. Slide down the triangular tip to remove the core. Slice in half lengthwise. Cut into chunks.

At last, the ultimate pineapple gift! Sun-ripened on the plantation, these Honeyglow Pineapples are naturally sweet and juicy. Unlike most pineapples, which are picked green, these premium golden-yellow pineapples are very high in sugar, low in acid and arrive ready to eat.

Pineapples are unique in that they contain the enzyme bromelain, which is a natural digestive agent that breaks down proteins. For this reason, fresh pineapple is excellent for serving as a palate cleanser and digestive aid after a heavy meal. Use fresh pineapple in meat or seafood marinades to add a flavorful accent and to help tenderize the proteins.
