In the south-central tropics of Costa Rica, the Del Monte’s Pinkglow pineapple is being grown; it has been tagged as ‘the jewel of the jungle’.
The fruits are grown in Buenos Aires de Puntarenas. Development started back in 2005 and as the patent states, Del Monte wanted to produce a unique and differentiated variety of pineapple, which they most certainly achieved. They are the only ones in the markets to be producing this exotic pink fruit. It wasn’t something that happened overnight, Costa Rica’s government didn’t approve the planting of these chic pineapples until 2011.
The pink pineapples can take up to 2 years to grow then on top of this they needed to complete their development and finally come to their prized final product.
