[WIN] It’s … sweet … it’s tangy … it’s perfect

Pineapples are one of the most popular fruits in the world.

The prickly pineapple with its waxy leaves is an irresistible tropical fruit.

Pineapples are a popular fruit used in various dishes and can be consumed fresh, cooked, juiced or preserved.

It takes an average of two years for the pineapple plant to produce a maximum of 200 fruits.

Raymond Petrowski, store manager at Food Lovers Market Krugersdorp, gives helpful tips to keep pineapples fresh and tasty for longer. Raymond says when buying pineapples one should look out for a yellow base, green leaves at the crown and the fruit should also feel firm, proving that the pineapple is ripe.
