Unveiling the Sweetness of Baby Pineapples!

Thriving in hot and humid conditions, baby pineapples, also known as 'Queen Victoria’s Pineapples', are a tropical treasure. These exotic fruits measure about 13 cm long and 7.5 cm wide, making them a smaller yet equally delightful version of their larger fruit counterparts. Their flavour is a perfect balance of sweet and tart, delivering a burst of tropical freshness in every bite. The golden-yellow flesh is tender, juicy and less fibrous than regular pineapples, making it ideal for eating raw or incorporating into dishes.

Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Baby Pineapples

  • Grilling: Grill slices to enhance their natural sweetness and caramelise the sugars.
  • Roasting: Roast halves with a sprinkle of spices for a flavourful side dish.
  • Blending: Blend into marinades or glazes for meat and seafood.
  • Baking: Bake chunks into desserts like pies or tarts.
  • Sauteing: Saute with butter and cinnamon for a quick treat.

Serving Suggestions: What to Pair Baby Pineapples With

  • Fruits: Pair with tropical fruits like mango, passion fruit or papaya.
  • Cheeses: Serve alongside creamy cheeses like mascarpone or brie.
