Pineapple - Bethonga Gold

The Bethonga Gold is a unique hybrid pineapple brought to Australia from Hawaii in 1987. Bethonga Gold pineapples have low acid levels and a higher sugar content than standard pineapples. This gives them a stronger, sweeter flavour and makes them taste extra delicious. Bethonga Gold pineapples do not ripen further after picking.

Seasonality

Available from January to December. 

Serving suggestion
