Coral Gables, Fla.-based Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. has officially launched its Mini Honeyglow pineapple in North America.
The newest member of the Honeyglow family brings the same quality and sweetness as the original Honeyglow pineapple but it is now available in a miniature size for consumers seeking smaller or single-size servings, according to a news release.
“The Mini Honeyglow is the perfect addition to Fresh Del Monte’s pineapple offerings,” Pablo Rivero, vice president of marketing for the company, said in the release. “Based on more than 100 years of knowledge and experience, coupled with our consumer research, we are giving consumers the sweetness they desire now in a smaller, more convenient size option.”
Every Del Monte Honeyglow pineapple is left to mature naturally on the plant for a few extra days, which ensures a riper and sweeter product than traditionally harvested pineapples, according to the release.
The pineapples are then hand-selected to ensure a high shell color, the release said.
Fresh Del Monte’s new, smaller pineapple is currently available at Kroger, City Market, Fred Meyers and Ralphs locations across 13 states, retailing at under $3.00 per pineapple in most markets, according to the release.
