The Del Monte Precious Honeyglow pineapple is a personal-size fresh pineapple that weighs less than two pounds.
"Our product development is focused on offering convenient and enjoyable ways for consumers to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into their daily routines – but we also have a major emphasis on sustainability and eliminating food waste," said Melissa Mackay, Fresh Del Monte's vice president of marketing in North America. "We are honored to win the 2024 Mindful Award for Precious Honeyglow pineapples because it represents our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability."
Fresh Del Monte's new Precious Honeyglow is the most compact pineapple in Del Monte history, weighing between 1.5 and 2 pounds, about half the average weight of a full-size traditional fresh pineapple. The smaller Del Monte Precious Honeyglow pineapple is designed to offer consumers more choices in the variety and size of their fresh pineapple, to suit taste preferences and reduce food waste.
Precious Honeyglow pineapple is the latest innovation in Fresh Del Monte's line of Honeyglow pineapples, which offer a sweeter taste than traditional pineapples. Grown at specialty farms in Costa Rica, Del Monte Honeyglow pineapples are left to mature and ripen naturally on the plant for a few extra days, resulting in an extra sweet taste and radiant golden hue.
