Hawaiian Pineapples Available at Ansar Gallery

Stopped by over the weekend and saw Maui Gold pineapples that are from Hawaii!  In case you didn't know, most pineapples from the big producers such as Dole and Del Monte import the pineapples from Costa Rica.  It's very rare to see a pineapple from Hawaii outside of Hawaii. 

Make sure to pick a firm one.  Most don't look that good, but if you pick correctly, you should be able to get a good one.  I just cut one and it was incredibly sweet and juicy.  They are priced at $1.99 so you can't go wrong.

Great advice. So what are your tips to pick a pineapple that doesn't look good?

Go by firmness all around the pineapple.  And then look at the bottom of the pineapple and make sure there isn't a lot of mold.  There generally is mold there, but try to find one with the least amount.

We occasionally order them online. I'm not a pineapple guy but these are very tasty.

Eyephone advice - anything with mold avoid

It's almost impossible to find Pineapples on the mainland without any sort of mold on the bottom of the pineapple.  It's really not a big deal once you cut the outer shell off.

Are you from Hawaii? (People from the island use that term mainland)

Nope.  The term stuck in my head after hearing it over and over during my trips out there.

Went to Zion yesterday and saw the same Maui Pineapples.  Exactly one year after I posted this thread.  Get them while you can!  There were some Costa Rica pineapples mixed in so make sure you get the Maui ones.

I wish they had the dole pineapple gummy bears.  Those are awesome.

Probably made in Indonesia. 

Those pineapple prices sure beat the mail order prices.

I always thought it was funny how they really started promoting the Haleiwa cannery as a tourist destination around the same time they began to offshore and halt production on the island.

A tour guide in Hawaii said they don't grow much pineapples in Hawaii anymore because it's cheaper to import pineapple from another country .  Perhaps the Maui pineapples are being imported to Hawaii from Costa Rica and getting a made in Maui slapped on em...

I don't 100% believe in made in labels...customs is suppose to investigate these things, but they're too busy looking for bombs in containers to deal with this fraud.

I don't like Ansar Gallery because they don't do any housekeeping of their parking lot. Got a cup of coffee at McDonald's in the same plaza early in the morning and the Ansar Gallery parking lot is an eyesore of carts and trash.
