Pineapple – the Friendly Fruit

Let’s talk about one of the most popular and well known tropical fruits in the world – Pineapple! Second in popularity only to banana, pineapple is one of the most widely consumed tropical fruits in America. Pineapple offers a rich history as well as a vibrant flavor. Historians believe that the pineapple originated in South America, and once discovered by Europeans, became a rare and coveted commodity.

A symbol of warmth, welcome, friendship and hospitality, pineapple adds a harmonious flair to a multitude of products that is both exotic and familiar. Pineapple can be enjoyed simply as a fruit or juice on its own, or blended with other fruits, such as coconut water, mango, and banana. Pineapple juice also blends nicely with vegetable applications, such as green smoothie bases with spinach or kale, and it continues to be a favored addition to cocktails and mocktails.

Take advantage of the versatility of this friendly fruit! From refreshing desserts like ice creams and sorbets, to savory sauces, marinades, and dressings, the addition of pineapple will go a long way in your product line!
