Did you know that each pineapple crop takes 1.5 to 2 years to bear fruit? After harvesting the first crop, the farmers would usually clear the land and grow a new crop in order to keep the yield high. This farmer that Ourtable (知果堂) works with however, chooses to let the first crop continue to grow for another 15months, hence its called Second Crop Pineapple. Its extremely difficult to farm the Second Crop because the branches need extra help to be propped up and each fruit is typically 2/3 the size of the first crop. Only 5% of farmers grow this!
We work with Ourtable (知果堂) to source for this pineapple because:
- despite the challenges, its worth the effort! The flesh is full, not fibrousy, flavour is more concentrated and even the core can be eaten!
- each fruit weighs about 1kg, just nice to be finished at one go without sending it back to the fridge
- Organic, passed test for 198 pesticide residues.
Weight
Each box weighs about 5.5 kg, each box contains 4-6 pieces.
