Trader Joe's is saving consumers from the tricky process of cutting a pineapple with its new Organic Pineapple Chunks.
Trader Joe's new Organic Pineapple Chunks are just as simple as the name suggests. The new product is made from just two ingredients: bite-sized pieces of organic pineapple and organic pineapple juice. Both the pineapple pieces and the juice come from Thailand, where pineapples are grown virtually year round. The country is also known for producing very high-quality pineapples with a sweet, well-rounded flavor profile and just the right amount of acidity.
As for what you can do with the Organic Pineapple Chunks, the opportunities are endless. First off, the pineapple pieces make great ice cream or yogurt toppers for a quick summer dessert. But the product is also perfect for savory dishes such as stir-frys, Thai curries, and even pizza.
