These pineapples are well known for their juicy texture, refreshing flavour and natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many fruits, pineapples do not continue to ripen after they have been harvested. While the fruit may become softer, juicier and change colour, its sweetness is largely established while it is still growing on the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePineapple is also naturally rich in vitamin C, making it a delicious and refreshing addition to breakfast, fruit platters, smoothies and desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removal of the leafy crown gives these pineapples their distinctive appearance. It is also connected with the way pineapple plants are propagated and makes the fruit easy to identify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a period of challenging growing conditions and limited supply, Queensland pineapples are becoming more readily available again.
