Del Monte Diced Pineapple in Juice
What it is
This product contains chunks of ripe pineapple packed in their own natural juice. The pineapple is carefully selected and processed to retain its fresh flavor and texture. It is a convenient way to enjoy the sweet and tangy taste of pineapple without the need for peeling or cutting fresh fruit. The juice it is packed in is also edible and adds to the overall flavor profile.

Open the can and drain the juice if desired, or use it as part of the recipe.

They can also be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. For a simple snack, serve chilled on its own.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pineapple packed in heavy syrup, this variety is preserved in its own juice. This results in a less sweet flavor and a more natural pineapple taste. The texture of the diced pieces is also generally softer than fresh pineapple, making it easier to incorporate into recipes.
