Gold is aptly applied to this variety of pineapple, which has exceptional flavor. With lower acid than most pineapples, Gold pineapples deliver superior sweetness with just enough tang in every bite.
Farm: La Patrona
From: Mexico
Serving Suggestions:
Cut off the bottom and crown of the pineapple. Stand the pineapple upright. Using a sharp chef's knife remove the spiky skin by either slicing downwards in sections or around as you would peel an apple. Cut into thin full moons so you can enjoy the more fibrous center.
If you can manage not to eat every last piece out of hand, pineapple brightens every smoothie and spritz and is excellent baked into a torte or cookies. For savory applications, pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down proteins making it a great choice for marinade to tenderize meats while adding flavor. Add some pineapple chunks to your marinated pork for amazing tacos, or add to your favorite stir fry for a vibrant flavor enhancer.
Nutritional Value:
An excellent source of Vitamin C. Just one cup of pineapple contains 131 % of daily requirements. Vitamin C is known as a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals. The enzyme bromelain present in pineapple helps the body digest proteins and reduces inflammation.
