Move over, standard pineapple—there’s a new, glamorous fruit in town. The Pinkglow® pineapple, a stunning tropical variety with vibrant pink flesh and an irresistibly sweet flavour, has officially landed in the United Kingdom, offering a dazzling upgrade to the classic fruit bowl.
This isn't your average pineapple. Grown in Costa Rica, the Pinkglow® variety is the result of over 16 years of careful development. Unlike its yellow cousins, it has a lower acid content, which results in a uniquely sweet and tender taste, often described as having notes of candy floss. The best part? Its eye-catching pink hue is completely natural, derived from the presence of lycopene, the same antioxidant that gives watermelons and tomatoes their red colour.
Where Can You Find This Tropical Treasure?
For British shoppers eager to get their hands on this exotic delight, the premium retailer Marks & Spencer is the exclusive stockist. The pineapples are available for purchase online through the M&S website, making it easier than ever to add a splash of colour to your dessert plate.
Why Is It So Special?
The cultivation process of the Pinkglow® pineapple is part of what makes it so unique. To ensure the plants direct all their energy into producing the super-sweet fruit, the crown of the pineapple is removed and replanted to grow new crops. This sustainable practice is a key part of its story. Furthermore, the fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring that its delicate flavour and stunning colour are perfectly preserved by the time it reaches your home.
A Fruit For Special Occasions
With a price tag of £11, the Pinkglow® pineapple is positioned as a luxury item, perfect for a special celebration, a unique gift, or simply as a treat to elevate a weekday dessert. Its striking appearance makes it a fantastic centrepiece for a summer fruit platter, a stunning addition to cocktails, or simply enjoyed on its own to experience its pure, sweet flavour.
The arrival of this innovative fruit signals a growing trend in the UK for exotic, visually striking, and premium food items that offer an experience as much as a taste.
