Del Monte Sliced Pineapple in Juice
What it is
These are slices of ripe pineapple packed in their own natural juice. The fruit is carefully selected and processed to preserve its fresh taste and texture. The juice acts as a natural sweetener and preservative, making the pineapple ready to eat straight from the can. This product offers the convenience of enjoying tropical pineapple flavor anytime.
How people cook with it
Sliced pineapple is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds a bright, tropical note to many recipes.
- Dessert topping
- Fruit salad addition
- Grilling accompaniment
- Savory dish enhancer
Drain the pineapple slices from their juice before using them in recipes. You can add them directly to fruit salads or layer them in parfaits. For a warm treat, grill the slices until lightly caramelized. They can also be incorporated into baked goods like upside-down cakes or used to add a sweet and tangy element to stir-fries and ham dishes. The reserved juice can be used in smoothies or as a base for dressings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pineapple packed in heavy syrup, this product is preserved in its own juice. This results in a less sweet, more natural pineapple flavor. The slices are typically uniform in thickness, making them easy to measure and use consistently in recipes.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused pineapple and its juice to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and consume within 3 to 5 days. This helps maintain the freshness and quality of the fruit.
