Unlike pineapple packed in heavy syrup, these tidbits are immersed in 100% pineapple juice. This means they retain a more natural pineapple flavor and are less intensely sweet. The tidbits are also smaller than chunks, offering a different mouthfeel and making them easier to incorporate into smaller baked goods or dishes.
