A good fruit for pain
Best to buy a week before you need it so it can have time to ripen some more I find. & I put it on a sunny side window sill. Every Pineapple will vary in sweetness due to the fact they have been picked green .Shopping on line is a bit of a gamble because your shopper has not been educated by Tesco I imagine to know much about Tropical fruits or how to handle or pack delicate products very often. Fresh Pineapple very good for pain as it contains the enzyme BROMELAIN that is not found in tinned or pasteurised Pineapple Juice as it is destroyed by heat
Lovely pineapple
A beautiful pineapple - big, ripe, sweet, juicy. Some was eaten fresh and some barbecued. Really nice.
Very good
Generally very good if you wait for it to ripen
The man from DelMonte, he say no!!
Not ripe, not tasty, so we’ll sell it to Tesco
Not harvested at the right time.
Note very ripe taste wise. Not sweet and less flavour. More surprisingly what is written on the label is a nonsense. It says " pineapple will not ripe further once it is picked". Not true. We had pineapple farm (small scale) and we used to pick the pineapple when it is ripe enough and kept in boxes for further ripening. Then it will develop beautiful yellow flesh and skin. Tesco pineapples are pale yellow )rather off white) in colour shows that it was not ripe enough to pick. Most of the pineapples we get in UK are harvested earlier.
Rotten
Soft and on the edge of being rotten, a reoccurring problem so will not buy it again.
very hit and miss as to whether you are going to g
very hit and miss as to whether you are going to get a good sweet one.....
Disappointing
Dry, hard, tasteless.
Disappointing large pineapple (24th July)
Unlike the small pineapples which have been consistently excellent this summer the large pineapple delivered on the 24th July was very disappointing. It was tart and rather dry.
Supersweet delight!
Delicious pineapple, so sweet and juicy. Use as a base for a tropical fruit salad along with a melon, mango and kiwi. A family favourite!
