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.
If you’re not planning to eat your pineapple immediately after purchasing, you can cut the fruit from the shell and refrigerate it in an airtight glass container. Be sure to use it within one week.
