USA – Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc has launched its newest product, Pinkglow pineapple, a novel pineapple with a pink interior, new and uniquely grown by Fresh Del Monte.
Pinkglow pineapples, which have been in development since 2005, are grown on a select farm in Costa Rica, and take up to 24 months to produce. Fresh Del Monte’s two largest farms are certified sustainably grown by SCS Global Services.

Pinkglow pineapples are harvested by hand with their crowns replanted to increase the volume of crops and reduce waste.
Del Monte says it’s been working on the Instagrammable pineapple for 16 years. It’s marketing the fruit as “perfect for a hostess to serve as part of a festive party cocktail, as a delicious dessert all on its own, or even to give as a gift to the person who will now truly have everything.”
