Product description
Mauritius is famous for its small, intensely sweet pineapples — often called Victoria or Queen pineapples. Smaller than the commercial kind, they are golden, fragrant, low in acidity and remarkably sweet, with a tender, edible-soft core.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The baby size means concentrated flavour and just the right amount for one or two people — no waste, no overpowering acidity. Pineapple is also naturally rich in Vitamin C and manganese, and contains the enzyme bromelain.
SOURCED FROM MAURITIUS
Mauritius' climate produces some of the sweetest small pineapples in the world. [Confirm variety (Victoria/Queen) and any organic certification with supplier before using in live copy.] Picked ripe and air-freighted to the UAE.

Slice off the leafy top, then halve or quarter the fruit lengthways, or cut it into rings. The small central core is tender enough to eat, so there is very little waste. Enjoy it fresh, in drinks, grilled with honey, or diced into salads and salsa.
