Small history

The sugar loaf pineapple takes its name from its long shape and its sweetness. It is distinctive in that it remains green even when ripe. These two factors distinguish it from the small Victoria or Queen pineapple and the traditional Gold pineapple.

The sugar loaf pineapple is a variety unique to Guadeloupe, developed on the lowland plantations. Growing it requires great skill and attention because of the little rodents that also appreciate its sweetness!
