I just cut open this runt of a pineapple but before I cut it open, I smelled it and smelled like candy. This fruit is only the size of a softball and after skinning it, it was even smaller.
The taste was sweet and creamy but it was definitely much less sweet than I was expecting. I didn’t write down the date I first saw the bloom spike so I believe I harvested this fruit a bit early. It had a Brix of 16% but had relatively low acid although it did have acidity, especially noticeable because of the lower Brix.
The core was extremely soft and my daughters are eagerly chomping down the last few pieces as I type. The flavor of this pineapple is excellent, sweet and creamy. I just wish this particular fruit were a bit sweeter.
To me personally, the White Jade tastes exactly the same as the Kuai White Sugarloaf. I’m sure the fruit we grow at Brads place will be much larger and sweeter. I neglected my plants and they still turned out decent so I can imagine that a properly grown fruit will be even better. Here are some pictures.
