Pineapples are avaliable all year round. Oval/cylindrical in shape they are a very distinctive looking fruit with long, pointed leaves sprouting out of the top, or the crown, of the fruit. The outside of a pineapple should be golden in colour with no mold spots or decay around the base. The fruit is yellow and juicy inside the spiky outer shell, with a sweet, slightly acidic taste.

Nutritional Benefits of Pineapples

Pineapples are loaded with vitamins C and B1 and contain smaller amounts of B2, B3, B5 and B6. They are also a good source of manganese, copper, magnesium, potassium, beta-carotene and folic acid (particularly helpful to pregnant women) and fibre.
