What exactly are “crownless pineapples”?
Crownless pineapples are pineapples that are packed and transported without their typical green crown. This allows us to use space more efficiently, meaning more pineapples can fit in a single shipment. It saves space and is a more sustainable way to transport fruit, without affecting the quality.
Why is removing the crown more sustainable?
By removing the crown, we can fit more pineapples into a single shipment. This means fewer trucks are needed to transport the same number of pineapples, which results in lower CO2 emissions. With crownless pineapples, we can not only transport more sustainably but also send a message that innovations in the fruit sector can make a positive impact on the environment. It’s a small adjustment, but a step in the right direction for making our planet more sustainable.
Removing the crown helps us transport more pineapples while reducing our carbon footprint.
Does removing the crown affect the quality of the pineapple?
Absolutely not! Many people believe that you can test a pineapple’s ripeness by pulling a leaf from the crown, but that’s a myth. The crown doesn’t affect the ripening or taste of the pineapple. The fruit remains just as fresh, juicy, and sweet as always.
