Meet the pink pineapple, often called the Jewel of the Jungle and yes, it’s as special as it sounds.
Grown in Costa Rica, this premium fruit is naturally sweeter and less acidic than traditional pineapple, with subtle, candy-like notes that make it feel indulgent without being overpowering. Its stunning rosy-pink flesh comes from lycopene, a naturally occurring antioxidant, no dyes, no tricks.
Beyond flavor, pink pineapples are made to stand out. They’re a favorite for luxury gifting, elevated tablescapes and those effortlessly Instagrammable moments that don’t need much styling to shine.
How to enjoy it:
Trim the base, remove the peel and slice or cut into bite-sized chunks. It’s beautiful served simply on its own, added to a fruit platter or used as a fresh finishing touch for both sweet and savory dishes.
There’s also a sustainability story worth celebrating. These pineapples are shipped after removing the crown that allows them to be replanted and reused, supporting a more carbon-neutral growing cycle.
Beautiful, intentional and memorable, this is fruit that makes a statement all on its own.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
