The fruit is known for its rich flavour, low fibre content and pleasant aroma. It is often enjoyed fresh but is also used in juices, desserts and fruit salads. The variety is popular across the Northeast and is slowly gaining attention in other parts of the country as well.

Why Pineapple Is Good For You
Apart from being tasty, pineapple also comes with several health benefits. It is rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and helps keep the skin healthy. The fruit also contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that may help with digestion. Pineapple is a good source of antioxidants and provides fibre, which supports gut health and keeps you feeling full for longer. Since it has a high water content, it is also a refreshing fruit to enjoy during hot summer days.
