Quality and ripeness

Baby pineapple is picked in a ripe state, it does not continue ripening afterwards. The pineapple is ripe once you smell a pleasant pineapple scent, the centre leafs at the top are a bit loose and the pineapple has a deep-green colour and gloss. Avoid baby pineapple with brown or soft spots. Brown leafs are another sign that the pineapple is no longer edible.

Use

You can use it the same way as its big brother, but the baby pineapple is sweeter and has a softer texture. The taste can be combined with banana, caramel, coconut, .... Pineapple works well in ice cream and smoothies, it can be stir-fried, with meat, chicken or pita. There are a lot of options.

Transportation

Pineapples are packed and refrigerated the day they are harvested. Once sufficiently refrigerated, the baby pineapples are shipped by air.
