Dole Tropical Gold Pineapples have a succulent sweet flavour because they have lower acid levels than regular pineapples. Not only are they delicious to eat, they're good for you. Tropical Gold pineapples contain many of the vitamins and minerals essential to good health. Not only are they good for you, but they are also an 'eco pine'. We select the best crowns (leafy tops) to replant and grow more pineapple, and recycle the rest to feed and replenish the soil; and that's good for the environment too!
How to select
Dole Tropical Gold pineapples are sweet, delicious, and ready to eat the moment they are picked. They do not ripen further once they are harvested.
A pineapple's skin colour is not an indication of ripeness; this will vary depending on where it is grown. The Dole Tropical Gold pineapples grown on Mindanao Island in the Philippines have greener skins; however the flesh under the skin will always be golden, delicious, and ready to enjoy.
How to store
Whole pineapples can be left at room temperature for a few days in the cooler months, but will keep well in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator. Refrigerate once cut.
