This exclusive fruit is a scarce find, with only a few hundred making their way to the continent for sale. Globally, just 5,000 of these pineapples will be accessible in 2024
Fresh Del Monte has introduced the Rubyglow pineapple, a rare red variety, to North America, priced at $400 each. Created after 16 years of research in Costa Rica, it’s a cross between a Morada and a traditional pineapple.
Currently, it’s exclusively available at Melissa’s Produce in Southern California. Despite the high price, it’s already sold out. Only a limited number were brought to North America, with just 5,000 available worldwide in 2024 and 3,000 in 2025.
