Red Pineapple -Normal Edible Flesh & Ornamental Fruit Plant. High in Antioxidants and Vitamins.

Red pineapples have a bright and beautiful red skin and each of the individual compound fruits that have fused to make the whole fruit are accented by red flower remnants or bracts.

The leafy crown is green or variegated and has spikes along the often red-tipped margins. The fruits have an elongated oval shape and are smaller than commercial varieties, though they can weigh up to 1 kilo or 2 pounds each.

They have less flesh than other varieties with a moderately sized core. The flesh is white or a pinkish-yellow, contains little juice, and may or may not have seeds. The taste is sweet and mild.

Red pineapples are high in vitamin C, and contain bromelain, an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties and is used in pharmacology.

The red color of the fruit's skin is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a phytochemical that offers antioxidant properties.
