Smooth Cayenne
Main canning and processing pineapple with golden yellow fruit and high sugar-acid balance. Additional notes from duplicate entry: The Smooth Cayenne pineapple reigns as a prominent tropical fruit, celebrated for its qualities and extensive cultivation, particularly in Hawaii. The skin transitions from greenish-gray to golden-yellow when ripe, indicating its readiness. Its intensely sweet flavor with a tangy undertone provides a complex and satisfying taste.
