Pineapple in Chinese

Pineapple in Chinese can be written in a few common ways. In Singapore and Malaysia, many customers also call pineapple 黄梨 or 黃梨. In Mandarin, 菠萝 and 凤梨 are both widely understood.

Benefits of Pineapple

Pineapple naturally contains water, carbohydrates, fruit sugars, dietary fibre, vitamin C and manganese. It can be enjoyed as a refreshing fresh fruit as part of a balanced diet.

Fresh pineapple should not be treated as medicine. It should not be used to claim cough treatment, disease prevention, weight loss, immunity boosting, blood pressure reduction or other medical effects.

Pineapple Juice

Dole Tropical Gold Pineapple can be blended into fresh pineapple juice at home. Cut the fruit into chunks, blend with a little cold water or coconut water, and strain if you prefer a smoother drink.

Fresh pineapple juice is sweet, bright and tropical. It can also be mixed with lime, mint, coconut water, ginger or other fruits for a refreshing drink.

• Blend into fresh pineapple juice
• Mix with coconut water for a lighter drink
• Add lime for a brighter finish
• Blend with mango or banana for smoothies
• Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste

Is Pineapple Good for Cough?

Pineapple and pineapple juice contain bromelain, an enzyme naturally found in pineapple. Some people enjoy pineapple juice when they have a cough because it feels refreshing and soothing.

However, pineapple should not be presented as a cough treatment. Evidence for pineapple juice helping cough is limited, and coughs can have many causes. If a cough is persistent, severe, linked with fever, breathing difficulty, chest pain or other concerning symptoms, seek medical advice.

Pineapple in Pregnancy

Pineapple can usually be enjoyed during pregnancy in normal food portions, as part of a balanced diet. It is a fresh fruit that naturally contains vitamin C, water and carbohydrates.

Pregnant customers with gestational diabetes, reflux, food sensitivities, medical conditions or specific dietary advice should follow their doctor’s guidance. Avoid overeating if acidity or sweetness causes discomfort.

Can Dogs Eat Pineapple?

Dogs may eat small amounts of fresh raw pineapple flesh as an occasional treat. Remove the skin, crown, eyes and tough core, then cut the flesh into small bite-sized pieces.

Do not give dogs pineapple skin, leaves, core, canned pineapple in syrup or large hard pieces. If your dog has diabetes, digestive issues, allergies, a sensitive stomach, or eats too much pineapple, check with a veterinarian.

How to Choose a Pineapple

Choose a pineapple that feels heavy for its size, has a fresh-looking crown and smells sweet near the base. The body should feel firm, not leaking or badly soft.

Colour alone is not the best guide because pineapple sweetness is mostly set at harvest. Pineapple does not continue becoming sweeter after it is picked, so it is best to choose a good piece and enjoy it soon.

How to Cut Dole Tropical Gold Pineapple

Place the pineapple on a clean cutting board. Cut off the crown and base, stand the fruit upright, then slice away the skin from top to bottom. Trim away any remaining eyes if needed.

Cut the pineapple into rings, wedges, spears or chunks. Remove the firmer centre core if you prefer a softer bite.

• Cut off the crown and base
• Stand the pineapple upright
• Slice away the outer skin
• Trim away any remaining eyes
• Cut into wedges, spears, rings or pineapple chunks
• Remove the core if preferred
• Serve chilled for the best sweetness and aroma

Storage and Handling Guide

Dole Tropical Gold Pineapple is best eaten soon after receiving. Pineapple does not continue becoming sweeter after harvest, so waiting longer will not improve sweetness.

Keep the whole pineapple in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight if you plan to cut it soon. For a colder, refreshing taste, refrigerate before serving. Once cut, store pineapple pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator and finish within a few days.

• Eat soon after receiving for best quality
• Store whole pineapple in a cool, dry place if cutting soon
• Refrigerate before serving for a chilled bite
• Once cut, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator
• Finish cut pineapple within a few days
• Avoid leaving cut pineapple at room temperature for long periods
• Discard if sour-smelling, fermented-smelling, slimy, mouldy or leaking badly
