Del Monte pineapples bring the sweet, tropical taste of paradise straight to your kitchen with their signature golden yellow flesh and perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor. These fresh pineapples are carefully selected and grown by Del Monte, a trusted name in fruit production for over a century, ensuring you receive consistently delicious tropical fruit that's ready to enjoy. With their juicy texture and distinctive tangy sweetness, Del Monte pineapples offer the perfect combination of refreshing taste and natural tropical aroma.
The versatility of fresh pineapple makes it an essential ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes across many cuisines. In Hawaiian and Pacific Island cooking, pineapple is a staple ingredient in traditional dishes like pineapple fried rice and teriyaki glazes. Latin American cuisines frequently incorporate pineapple into salsas, marinades for grilled meats, and refreshing agua frescas. The natural enzymes in pineapple also make it an excellent meat tenderizer, perfect for marinating chicken, pork, or beef before grilling or roasting.
For home cooks and bakers, Del Monte pineapples excel in both fresh applications and cooked preparations. Enjoy chunks fresh as a healthy snack, blend into smoothies, or add to fruit salads for natural sweetness. In baking, pineapple transforms upside-down cakes, muffins, and tropical bread recipes with its moist texture and bright flavor. Try grilling pineapple rings for a caramelized side dish, incorporating diced pineapple into homemade pizza, or creating tropical cocktails and mocktails. Store whole pineapples at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate cut pieces for up to five days.
