Does a Small Pineapple Hold the Solution for Reducing Food Waste?
Fresh Del Monte is shaking up the pineapple market with the introduction of its latest offering, the Precious Honeyglow Pineapple. This new variety, part of Fresh Del Monte's Honeyglow line, promises a sweeter taste and a more compact size.
Certified by SCS Global Services as carbon neutral, the Precious Honeyglow pineapple weighs between one-and-a-half and two pounds, making it a perfect single-serving size. Melissa Mackay, Fresh Del Monte's VP of marketing, North America, stated that the new Precious Honeyglow delivers everything that people love about Del Monte Honeyglow pineapples in a smaller size.
The Precious Honeyglow pineapple retains the extra sweet taste and distinct color of Del Monte Honeyglow pineapples. The Honeyglow line, known for its unique golden color inside and out, is tangier and has a higher sugar content than regular pineapples, making it sweeter.
Fresh Del Monte offers several distinct pineapple varieties with varying sizes and sweetness levels. The Pinkglow pineapple, for instance, features a naturally pink interior, is juicy, less acidic, and has a well-balanced sweetness that is not overly sugary. The Rubyglow pineapple, a rare variety with a red outer skin and bright yellow flesh, offers a sweet taste similar to Fresh Del Monte’s other pineapples.
Sizes are generally sold as whole pineapples, though exact size specifications are not detailed in the provided sources. The company emphasizes quality and premium novelty in these offerings rather than standard size gradations.
In other news, Fresh Del Monte has partnered with Melissa's Produce, resulting in the creation of a new petite fresh pineapple called Precious Honeyglow. The company is also expanding its reach with the acquisition of a produce and specialty foods company based in the Southeast.
Meanwhile, Driscoll's has made a significant move by buying Costa Group to grow its global berry business. Gotham Greens, on the other hand, has marked its expansion into the DFW region with the opening of its first farm in Texas.
