Pink Glow is a cultivar of pineapple exclusively produced by Del Monte. These pink beauties get their signature color from lycopene, the same carotenoid antioxidant that gives red tomato, pink grapefruit and watermelon their color.

Flavor wise, Pink Glow pineapples tend to be less acidic, providing a juicy and ultra-sweet flavor profile.

Lycopene has numerous health benefits. It has been extensively studied for more than 70 years, with more than 2000 articles published in peer-reviewed journals. This antioxidant can show up in a rainbow of colors ranging from red, orange, to pink. The shade depends on the isomer (aka how the atoms or lycopene are arranged).

Lycopene’s health benefits are largely attributed to its ability to scavenge damage in cells from oxidative stress. It is thought to be protective against prostate cancer, improve heart health, and even help minimize damage caused by sunburn!

These big knobby, wrinkly citrus may look ugly AF, but their sweetness and flavor are off the charts. The Dekopon is a fairly new (developed in 1972) hybrid that originated in Japan. It was developed from other citrus fruits, including mandarins and pomelos. These seedless fruits taste like sunshine, rainbows, and the sweetest mandarin you’ve ever had.
