Pineapples
Shoppers love fresh - cut pineapple. Coring and shelling devices can offer a variety of fresh-cut pineapple options, including slices, cubes, crushed and halves filled with a fresh fruit mixture. Premium prices per pound are usually associated with the cut and cored product.
 
Pineapple is a dish in and of itself, but also mixes well with other fresh fruits, works in salads or on a salad bar, and is a good ingredient in Polynesian and Asian dishes. Of course, pineapples are also a natural ingredient in cakes, cookies, pies, and sundaes, plus it can be blended with yogurt for a wholesome smoothie.
 

How to Select:

 

Choose a pineapple with crown leaves that are fresh and green. The pineapple itself should be fragrant, heavy and symmetrical in size.

 
 

How to Use:

 
Use pineapples as a dessert or snack, in salads, in drinks, in baking and in cooking.
How to Store:
Store pineapples in the refrigerator. Pineapples are picked ripe and ready to eat, so you should use them immediately after purchase.
