"Sweet 16" Pineapple

Recently came across a new pineapple cultivar available in the supermarket (NTUC Fairprice: $2.65 each), and I must say it really lives up to its name! Launched by S&W, these pineapple are grown in Bukidnon, Philippine.

They are relatively small compared to the more common Del Monte "Gold" pineapple. Incidentally, the latter had bought over S&W last year.

Though I must say, eating freshly cut pineapple does have a sort of biting/acidic effect on the tongue. A touch of salt (fleur de sel?) helps. But I'd highly recommend chilling the fruit in the fridge overnight, and juicing it! Luscious nectar.
