Pain de sucre pineapple (Benin)
A white-fleshed pineapple, sweet and low in acidity, sold as Class 1.
A white-fleshed variety whose skin stays greenish when ripe, the Pain de sucre pineapple appeals with its high sugar content and low acidity. Its flesh is tender and very juicy, and its core is edible. Offered as Class 1 and in large size, it suits careful cutting. Best eaten when the aroma is clearly noticeable at the base.
