Fresh Del Monte, known for creating the colorful, Pinkglow and Rubyglow pineapples, introduced a personal-sized pineapple called Precious Honeyglow with year-round availability exclusively through Melissa's Produce. Precious Honeyglow is the most compact pineapple in Del Monte history, weighing under two pounds, or about half of the average weight of a traditional full-size pineapple.
According to a Fresh Del Monte survey, single-person households are significantly less likely than multiple-person households to prefer full-size whole pineapples. This small, single-serve pineapple was created to offer consumers more choices in variety and size of fresh, whole pineapples, all while reducing food waste. This pineapple also caters to different taste preferences since Precious Honeyglow is said to have "a distinctly sweeter taste than traditional pineapples."
