Pineapple

Not a single fruit but a composite formed from hundreds of small flowers. With a firm crown and skin turned golden, a fresh pineapple offers an aroma no tinned version can approach.

Taste & Texture

Sharp and refreshing, balancing high acid against high sugar. The base is the sweetest part. If a crown leaf pulls away easily and the base smells distinctly fragrant, it is ripe.

How to Enjoy

• Peel and cut into rings or spears to eat fresh.
• Caramelise on the grill and serve alongside meat.
• Use freshly juiced in cocktails and smoothies.
• Add to stir-fries and rice dishes for sweet-sour balance.

Storage

A whole pineapple keeps 2–3 days at room temperature or 5–7 days refrigerated. Once cut, store covered and use within 3 days.

Nutrition

Rich in vitamin C and manganese. Contains a natural group of enzymes known as bromelain.

This is a natural agricultural product: size, colour and weight may vary by harvest and by batch.
