Kew Pineapple Sucker (Ananas comosus)

Kew pineapples are a medium-sized fruit, averaging 1.5 to 3 kilograms in weight. Kew pineapples typically contain less fiber than other commercial pineapple varieties and are filled with sticky, aromatic juice. Ripe Kew pineapples release a fragrant, honeyed, and syrupy-sweet scent and should feel heavy for their size, indicating high juice content. Also, select fruits that showcase a yellow coloring at the base of the fruit. If the base is green, the fruits are not considered ripe enough for consumption. Kew pineapples can be eaten raw or cooked and have high sugar content, between 14 to 17 degrees Brix, and low acidity, 0.1 to 1.2%, creating a sweet, tropical, subtly tangy, bright, and refreshing flavor.
