Bogor Snack Pine Japanese Pineapple

This uncommon Japanese pineapple is called Bogor Snack Pine. They are known for their tender shell that can be easily torn apart for a snack-like experience. While this Japan pineapple is smaller than your typical pineapple, it boasts a tender core, allowing you to enjoy every bit of it without waste. Its deep yellow flesh is characterised by a strong sweetness and minimal acidity, making it less sour than the usual pineapple varieties and offering a richer aroma. This pineapple is perfect for those who prefer sweeter fruit experiences.

STORAGE

Fresh pineapple will keep in your fridge for two to four days after it has been sliced. Even in an airtight container, it can turn brown. Therefore, soak the pieces in orange juice to keep them bright and fresh.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

The leaves of Snack Pine (Bogor) have thorns, and they are slightly smaller than regular pineapples, with larger cavities in the pulp, and are characterised by less acidity and a higher aroma.

To enjoy, simply cut about 1 to 2 cm from the bottom, tear off from the joint to indulge in its super sweetness.
