As you might have guessed, Pink Pineapple is a variant of the standard pineapple plant. It is popularly known for its pink-colored flesh which is said to be sweeter than the standard pineapple.
Pink Pineapple is not just a pretty plant, but it is also versatile in its uses. They can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in various dishes like salads, jams, and much more. Pink Pineapple can also be used to make cocktails and smoothies.
Lycopene and Beta Carotene
In my research, I discovered that the pink coloration of the genetically modified pineapple comes from the presence of lycopene, which naturally occurs in other fruits, such as tomatoes and watermelons.
While researching these beautiful fruits, I learned that Pinkglow® pineapples are not readily available in all local markets due to their carefully controlled cultivation and distribution.
