Caribbean Sweet™
A Tropical Treat from Costa Rica

 

Fact:  Pineapples don’t ripen once they have been harvested and so we “pick-em” at their peak of sweetness and flavor.

Fact: Pineapple consumption has grown significantly over the past 5 years … from 1.9 lbs./person to 3.1 lbs./person … that's 63% growth !

Fact: Supermarket sales of fresh pineapple in 1999 were $155 million and this represented 0.4% of total produce department sales … the growing availability of fresh pineapple as a whole fruit or semi-processed like cored or bagged chunks will continue to generate sales increases.
