Pineapple

A question a few of our customers would ask – when are pineapples ripe? Pineapples are perfectly ripened when the skin starts to turn yellow and has a slight sweet scent, another good way of telling when they are ripe is when the leaves pull out relatively easy – Enjoy..!

The skin is green to yellow in colour and covered in spiked protuberances. The fruit is topped with a sprout of narrow, pointed, green leaves. Modern cultivars are seedless and produce smoother leaves compared to the wild species that have thorny-edged serrated leaves. The juicy flesh of the Pineapple can vary from white to yellow depending on variety and offers a sweet, succulent flavour and mild acidity.
