Dole Pineapple Chunks in Juice
What it is
These are chunks of ripe pineapple packed in their own natural juice. The fruit is carefully selected and cut into bite-sized pieces. It offers a convenient way to enjoy the sweet and tangy flavor of pineapple without the need for fresh preparation. The juice acts as a natural sweetener and preservative, maintaining the fruit's texture and taste.
How people cook with it
These pineapple chunks are versatile and can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. They are ready to eat straight from the can.
- Add to fruit salads
- Top yogurt or oatmeal
- Bake into cakes and muffins

To use, simply drain the chunks from the juice, or use the juice as well, depending on your recipe. They are perfect for adding a tropical sweetness to baked goods like upside-down cakes or pineapple muffins. You can also toss them into savory dishes such as ham glazes or stir-fries for a contrasting sweet and sour element. For a quick snack or dessert, serve them chilled on their own or mixed with other fruits.
