Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., a North American marketers and distributor of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, will expand its exclusive Pinkglow Pineapple to select retailers in limited markets throughout the U.S. The Pinkglow Pineapple is a novel pineapple with a pink interior, uniquely grown by Coral Gables, Florida-based Fresh Del Monte and now available in new packaging for retail.
Consumers can now find Pinkglow pineapples at select stores throughout the U.S., including, but not limited to, Ingles stores in North Carolina, Lowe’s stores throughout Texas and Giant/Martin’s Ahold throughout Pennsylvania. In addition, Pinkglow pineapples are still available for purchase online to be shipped direct-to-consumer via PinkglowPineapple.com.
This “Jewel of the Jungle” is produced in ultra-limited harvests, uniquely and specially grown by the expert growers at Fresh Del Monte and is found to be both juicier and sweeter than a traditional pineapple. With a unique taste, the Pinkglow Pineapple boasts notes of candy aromatics. Grown in the Costa Rican jungle, this exclusive product is one-of-a-kindn.
“We are very excited to offer Pinkglow to a larger audience by making the product available at the retail level,” said Pablo Rivero, VP of marketing for Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A. “Our team was overjoyed by the positive feedback we received launching this product and, in response to the consumer demand, we decided to expand our distribution of the product to make it even more accessible to shoppers. We hope everyone will enjoy seeing the product in person and take advantage of this new way to access it.”
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. Pinkglow Pineapples are harvested by hand with their crowns replanted to increase the volume of crops and reduce waste. While consumers will open their packages to find the Pinkglow Pineapple without its crown, Fresh Del Monte can ensure that it will be removing and replanting each crown before shipping, sustainably cultivating the next crop.
