Española Roja pineapple

Get to know the delicious Española Roja pineapple directly from the Canary Island of El Hierro! This tropical fruit entices with its rich taste and intense aroma. It is grown on the sunny slopes of the island, which ensures its optimal quality and taste.

Origin and quality:
The Española Roja pineapple is a symbol of the tropical paradise of the Canary Islands. Thanks to the ideal climatic conditions of the island of El Hierro, this pineapple offers an exceptional palette of flavors that will enchant you at the first bite. Juicy fruits have a thick and hard skin that is yellow-orange in color. The core of the pineapple is very pale yellow and has an excellent aroma and taste. The heart of this variety is more woody and hard. The fruit is harvested at full maturity, which you can easily tell by pulling the top leaves in the crown. If it comes off easily and then the whole crown can be torn off by turning, you are sure that the fruit is perfectly ripe.

Airborne mold may appear on the lower cut of the pineapple, which is caused by changes in humidity during storage and transport to Europe.

How to cut a pineapple correctly: For maximum taste experience, we recommend the following procedure:

Preparation: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple (remove the crown by twisting it, it can then be planted and grow a new plant).
Place it on a cutting board with a flat bottom.

Scraping: Cut the skin of the pineapple from top to bottom. Don't go too deep so you don't have too much waste and then remove all external irregularities and thoroughly clean the skin - an oblique lengthwise cut will create a very elegant pineapple look and reduce wastage.

Cutting: Cut the pineapple into thin slices or triangular pieces.

Serving: Serve pineapple fresh as part of an exotic fruit salad, or use it as a decoration for your tropical cocktails.

Benefits of pineapple:
Vitamins and minerals: Pineapple is a rich source of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, and potassium, which supports the proper functioning of muscles and nerves.
Fiber: Contains fiber that supports healthy digestion and regulates blood sugar levels.
Antioxidants: Thanks to its antioxidant content, it protects cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Interesting fact: Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which helps digest proteins and promotes healthy digestion. Its presence causes tingling of the lips and tongue, which is often mistaken for an allergic reaction. The concentration of this enzyme decreases with natural ripening on the plant.

Recipes and interesting facts:
Pineapple Smoothie: Blend chopped pineapple with a banana, coconut milk and a pinch of cinnamon for a refreshing smoothie.
Grilled pineapple: Drizzled with honey and cinnamon, grill pineapple slices and serve with vanilla ice cream.
Pineapple Cake: Use fresh pineapple to make a refreshing and delicate cake with an exotic taste.

Pineapple of the Española Roja variety will retain its freshness and delicious taste if you observe the correct storage conditions. Here are some tips on how to properly store pineapples:

Temperature: Pineapple should be stored at around 10-12°C (50-54°F). Temperatures that are too low can damage the flavor and texture of the fruit, while temperatures that are too high can cause ripening too quickly.

Humidity: Pineapple prefers higher humidity, so it is ideal to place it in the refrigerator, where the air is usually more humid. If you do not have the possibility to maintain a higher humidity, you can store the pineapple wrapped in a paper towel in a closed plastic bag.

Separation from other fruits: Pineapples produce ethylene gas, which can accelerate the ripening of other fruits. Therefore, it is recommended to store pineapples separately from other crops.

Overripe pineapple: If you have overripe pineapple, you can store it in the refrigerator and use it as soon as possible. Overripe pineapple can also be used to make juicy cocktails, smoothies or desserts.

Check the condition: Check the condition of the pineapple regularly. If it begins to lose its characteristic aroma or shows signs of staining or softening, it is time to use it up or process it.

By following these simple instructions, you can prolong the freshness and preserve the delicious taste of the Española Roja Pineapple. Enjoy the tropical experience for a long time!
