All About White Kaua'i Pineapple
We think this might just be the best type of pineapple in the world. It's almost like a pineapple and a strawberry met on a vacation in Hawaii. Grown in the fields of Kaua'i, it ripens in the Hawaiian sun where it develops its exquisite sweetness and irresistible flavor. Once you cut one of these open and take your first bite, we don't think you'll be able to stop.
These pineapples are picked at the peak of ripeness and arrive to you ready to eat. You will be presented with a pineapple that has a green rind with yellowing inside of the 'eyes'. Once you cut it open, you'll be met with a creamy white flesh—less woody than other varieties—and a floral aroma. And what's even better, there are no seeds and the soft core is completely edible. Aside from the rind, you can eat everything else.
Imagine sitting out by the pool on a hot summer day and enjoying your favorite pineapple beverage. Due to it having a smoother texture than others, it is perfect in smoothies, juices, or purees without any of that stringy-ness.
You will absolutely love eating this delicious treat by itself but it will absolutely be the star of any fruit salad or you can even add it to a normal green salad for a bit of a different touch.
It can also be baked into breads or even cooked to add as a topping for cheesecakes, custards, or other desserts as its high sugar content makes it ideal for caramelizing.
However you choose to enjoy it, we think you're going to absolutely fall in love with the white Kaua'i pineapple like we have. Keep reading to learn more about this truly unique and exotic fruit.
