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.
How to Store
Your Pinkglow® arrives chilled and is best enjoyed immediately. To store, refrigerate the whole pineapple tightly wrapped in plastic, or cut and store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
