Got one today for $9 packaged in a box. It is a bigger and heavier than a the yellow one. It wasn’t tangy. It was mildly sweet and tender like watermelon . The yellow Maui pineapple , however;are the sweetest and even cuts on the corner of my lips. I ❤️the pink one like an occasional treat.
Omg I love the pink pineapple way better than the yellow pineapple. After I tried the pink pineapple I’m having a hard time going back to the yellow pineapple. Yo me the yellow pineapple is sweeter but it also has a bitter taste at the same time. Uggh I was hoping I’d hate the pink pineapple just because the price of it is $15 here.
Great video! I havent been able to find these yet, but with such a steep pricetag I think I will stick to the classic yellow fellow :) Another reason why I won't buy them is because they actually remove the tops of the crown speciiffically so people CAN'T grow it. As Del Monte owns the exclusive "rights" to this crop and growing them yourself is illegal. While I understand the company doesn't want people to profit off of growing and selling something they created, the idea of big companies controlling and owning the "rights" of food creeps me right out. The same is true for all GM crops. There have been lawsuits against farmers who have seed-saved other crops and grown them without buying new.
Why are you surprised the genetically modified fruit wasn't as good as the regular pineapple. Regular pineapple is perfect the way it is but if you so feel inclined Tajin goes with pineapple perfectly. Sweet and Spicy.
Great video! With great review. Yes I was also thinking the same that its colour is same as water melon. I will too give it a try. Hey 👋 new on your channel
@@isaacperez1850 yes i do. But not every pineapple,but if i dont know the kind of pineapple or if its a very delicious one,i regrow them. To see what comes out at the end. The crown makes roots fast if you let it stay in water for a few weeks,only keeping the root points under water by adding water every week. I have 5 at the Moment. I am from Austria and i always have to keep them in my Kitchen at the south window. My Oldesloe ones are 8 years old with 1,50 meter leaves. I had to wait 4 Years to get the first blossoms,but they both bloomed at the same time. It was great. And since then,i get 1 pineapple every year. And my pineapple plants did not die after i harvested the fruit. Its an neverending circle of growing pineapple plants that all came out of another one. Its sooo huge!!! But alive and growing

I guess they harvest a not quite ripe regular pineapple with the stem,place it in red coloured water,let the pineaple soak the colour into the fruit, remive the crown that you cant regrow it and sell it for much money
I was pretty excited to try it and then it wasn't anything spectacular. Pineapple is one of my favorites and I love the bold flavors of sweet and sour, the pink is just sweet. 😄 Not horrible, but I wouldn't spend more than $2.99 on it, which is what a regular pineapple typically costs here.
@@KnowYourProduce Too bad for you that the white pineapple can't get to you. It tastes like yellow pineapple, but its acid level is way down. You get the sweet and sour without the burn you can get with yellow pineapple. Unfortunately, the white is notoriously difficult to tell when it is ripe. Most people would think that the ripe white pineapple is still green when it is ready. Because it is, mostly. When ripe, the white pineapple is green and purple with a subtle yellowish blushing near the bottom . If you wait until the top of the fruit starts to yellow, the bottom will have started to ferment due to the sugar content. It takes a discerning eye to pick the white pineapple at the right time. This made the white pineapple commercially unviable. If you get to Hawaii, you should try it.
I’ve purchased some pink pineapple after this video but only for things like Valentine’s Day or special occasions where I want pink. Otherwise, I love yellow pineapple. 😍
I got. A Pink Glow Pineapple at a produce stand for $12. At first I thought nope not messin with my love of 🍍 but I thought what the heck. I should have went with my first thought. The flavor is not tat good. It somehow has less flavor and water to me… it’s a no for me in the future.
I have to agree as a pineapple lover that it didn’t wow me. Pink glow is meant to be sweeter and I just love regular pineapple as it has a sweet and sour balance.
@@KnowYourProduce They only cut the leaves off the top, the roots are still on the pineapple, so they are not cutting the tops so they can replant them like they say they are.
@@3000gtwelder ,they cut the leaves to weaken the crown. Without the leaves, the crown won't be able to grow well and the resulting plant/plants will be weak and in the higher latitudes probably die. You'll need alot of effort to get healthy plants from the mutilated crown and for most people, it's not worth that effort. It is Del Monte's way to delay the inevitable reproduction of the plant. They'll get the higher profits while they can. From the results of this video, it's popularity will probably wane with its novelty. That will last as long as Del Monte keeps it rare. But for those fortunate with the patience and climate, they will be able to grow their own.
@@kahoaalohamalalis8841 Your totally right! My point was that they were lying by saying that the reason they cut the tops off was for them to replant. We all know you can't regrow a pineapple with a leaf, so it is B.S. by them saying that.
Haha thanks! I was so let down, but I really think if you get a good one, it could be better? I'm not convinced on the pricing for that though haha. We had two and the second was better, but nowhere as good as the yellow to me. I love the balance of sour and sweet. :)
@@KnowYourProduce it was horrible!! Not very sweet, but juicy.,Not worth the hype. That’s why I why I guess it was so cheap.. A waste of 7 bucks. Also, at first i didn’t know it was genetically modified, but I decided to taste it anyways. Still have half in the refrigerator, as much as I don’t want to eat it, I hate the fact I have to throw all this money out!!

so glad you like it! I hope they continue to make it more affordable. :)
Where did you get one for $9?
Unexpectedly, I found it @99c Store 2 m ago.
I got one for $12
On a whim, no, but for fun, yes? Color me a bit confused, but thank you for this review!
We hear you! We like it for fun, especially because the color is perfect without using food dye! 😍 that being said, yellow is our favorite!
I’ve heard you can grow it still, it will grow pups from the stump at the top
Interesting 🤔
They’re so cute 😂 I’ve had pups grow from mine

Yes, yellow has that bit of sour note and I love that sour-sweet combination. That's what pink was lacking for me, but if you love sweet, pink is it!
Try a sugar loaf pineapple if you haven't! It's really good and you can eat the core.
I have yet to find one!!
Where can I buy it pineapple pink?
I’d call your local grocery store. Some have it! I can usually find it at our local H Mart
Made in Costa Rica 🇨🇷
☺
It's more for the color guys...if u are making a fruit salad it gives the salad a better color...more variety.
Yes, love the pop of pink! :)

Thank you! I'm happily enjoying my yellow pineapple! I occasionally see these around, but also wouldn't splurge on them again.
Here on TH-cam there is a video on how to propagate the pink pineapple without the crown. Just do a search! ;-)
I tried it yesterday and I don't like it as well, my coworker got it for 6 or 7 buck in Connecticut. I agree it's not worth it.
Ooh, I haven't seen it priced that low! It's fun to look at for sure, but I'll take yellow over pink! haha
You really grow your own pineapples? It takes about 2-3 years, I don't doubt you... just curious.
Why are you surprised the genetically modified fruit wasn't as good as the regular pineapple. Regular pineapple is perfect the way it is but if you so feel inclined Tajin goes with pineapple perfectly. Sweet and Spicy.
Simply because of the $50 price tag.
Great video! With great review.

Thanks so much! 👋
If i cant regrow the crown on my own because they remove it- i dont need it. For this price its not fair not to get it.
I do question this, but I’m guessing they’re just not in demand so they need it to grow more to keep costs “down”.

@@KnowYourProduce If that was the case they would take the whole crown. You can still grow it from the little piece of crown that is left.

Pretty sure it's just gmo I highly doubt they go thru all the trouble of coloring plus the coloring would color the outside as well
I just had one and it taste exactly the same
Yeah, they’re pretty for sure, but wouldn’t spend the extra for it!
Looked for this in Sweden, we have not yet got it here. Awesome anyway :)
Hopefully, you get them soon! They're definitely fun to try and our second one was a bit sweeter too! :)
And the heads are cut off so you cant regrow them, but GM foods wont propagate unless by tissue culture.
I’d love to find one with a crown!
Got ours at Krogers for $3. They had the regular ones for $.97 and I taught they were too pricey but my wife said lets splurge.
That's a great price!! Regular pineapple here is $2.99-3.99!
Idk why but the moment you said “👀. . . Taste like a pineapple 🤷🏾♂️ “ took me out lmao

$17? I bought mine for like $3.49 Pink Pelican Pineapple at Walmart.
Nice! I think they're becoming more affordable now. :) Although I rarely see them now.

New sub, because youre a lefty!
Ha! Thanks 🙌
99 cent store has them for 9.99
Not a bad price! I do wish the max was $5, but $10 is the cheapest I've heard of aside from clearanced.
I'm sure you could hit the little bit of crown that's left with some rooting hormone and grow it 🤷🏼♂️
Hmm, I wonder!
How do they replant the tops like they say, when the root stock is still in the pineapple🤣
I'm confused? :)

Just got ours from Safeway for $9.99
Not bad! I still wish it was around $4.99 though :D
I tried it save you money by yellow one
I agree, you can fill the fridge and freezer with yellow price-wise lol
I got mine for 3.99
Nice!! I’m still seeing it for $14.99 the lowest here 😔
How disappointing. Your reaction was too cute.
Haha thanks! I was so let down, but I really think if you get a good one, it could be better? I'm not convinced on the pricing for that though haha. We had two and the second was better, but nowhere as good as the yellow to me. I love the balance of sour and sweet. :)

I wasn't impressed either... definitely NOT worth the money...did the research...engineered by Del Monte....GMO - check
It was for sure fun to try, but not worth it to buy at the price point.
I paid $3 for mine 🤣 wth $50??
Crazy right? I would definitely buy at $3!
Pinks are sweeter...
Definitely depends on the one you get.
