Ocado Ripe & Ready Crownless Pineapple
Everyday Savers
Product information
Our sweet and juicy pineapples are always harvested when they are ripe and ready to eat, so you can enjoy 80g of pineapple as 1 of your 5 a day in your breakfast, dessert or, as a healthy snack on the go.
You'll notice that they arrive without the green leaves on top which is known as a 'crownless' pineapple.
This provides two fantastic benefits:
1. Removing the crowns means the leaves are used as seed material to grow more pineapples or are added to cattle feed.
2. They take up 25% less space when travelling from their home to yours, meaning more pineapples in fewer vehicles.
Did you know?
It's a myth that you can test the ripeness of a pineapple by pulling out its leaves or by the colour of the shell. So there's no need to worry about the missing crown as these pineapples are already ripe and ready to eat when they arrive on your doorstep.

Delicious
Probably the best pineapple I have ever had. Super juicy and sweet and perfectly ripe. Also such a good idea to sell them without all the leaves, makes you wonder why we have all been chopping half a plant off and throwing it away every time we have pineapple!
Definitely not ripe and ready
This came very green, I read about putting it in a brown paper bag with an apple to ripen it fast, and it worked, but still took a week to ripen. However, when ripe it was delicious and juicy, and worth 99p along with all the effort!
Really good!
Second one we've bought and they have both been delicious! I agree with the last reviewer, we left the pineapple for nearly a week in the fridge and it was still juicy and sweet.
The best
Never any issues with these pineapples. I put them in the fridge upon delivery and when I cut them even a week later they are still fresh
Excellent value
Great price and always a good quality pineapple with a delicious fresh flavour
Juicey
I kept it on the work top for a few days as it looked rather green, it was very difficult to cut open to remove the flesh, but worth it as it was sweet & juicey.
