Pineapple Recipes
Fresh pineapple tastes so much better than frozen or canned pineapple. It’s juicier, more cost effective when purchased in season, and is more versatile.
Peak pineapple season runs from March through July, although most supermarkets in the US carry fresh pineapples year-round.
However, pineapples are one of those fruits that taste dramatically different when purchased out of season.
Off-season pineapples are often hard and lack the sweetness and juiciness of in-season pineapples.
Note that pineapples in the US are sourced from two main locations, Hawaii and Florida / the Caribbean. That’s why the peak growing season lasts for so long! The two pineapple varieties differ slightly, but the flavor isn’t noticeably different.
When looking for a fresh pineapple to cut, you want it to have the following qualities: plump, vibrant green leaves, vibrant yellow skin, and a fragrant bottom.
