Pineapple is available year-round, but the best time to buy is during the peak months of March through July. There are several different types of pineapple cultivated in different areas of the globe, but a select few are grown for commercial use, mainly due to their traveling ability. At fresh produce markets and gourmet specialty stores, you’ll likely find the following varieties of pineapple available for purchase:

  ♦     Cayenne: A common variety, the Cayenne is most widely available. This pineapple is large and has a very sweet flavor, but tends to be acidic.

  ♦     Queen: This pineapple is smaller in size than the Cayenne, with a slightly drier texture, and not as sweet. This pineapple stores well after harvested.

  ♦     Red Spanish: Boasting a unique purple-toned skin, the Red Spanish is a medium-sized pineapple with a mild flavor and pleasant aroma.

  ♦     Pernambuco: While it doesn’t ship well, this pineapple does have a unique flavor; it is very sweet, almost melting, and tastes great when fresh.

  ♦     Sugarloaf: This large, five- to six-pound pineapple offers white flesh and a delectable flavor that is high in sugar, but low in acidity.

You can also find excellent pineapple available canned, dried, sugared, or in an extract form for baking.... Sign-up Above to Read More!
