Sugarloaf Pineapple

@DroppingFruit
Were any from the white, “coreless” species?

I am about 18 months on my sugarloaf. It is quite large, but its in a pot. I had to move it into the greenhouse on some days where we had a freeze chance. Hopeful for fruit this year.

White fleshed, cores are edible but not super soft like others ive had before. Thornless leaves?.

Jackfruit seeds for dinner :grin:

My pineapples have not survived in germany greenhouse… i don’t think i got any past the rooting into soil phase…

Those appear yellow fleshed. The white fleshed species and its cultivars have thorns along the leaf edges.

I’m also growing a yellow fleshed cultivar imported from Maui. There are no thorns on the leaves.

The small one was yellow. The bigger one i took a photo, kind of yellow. A few varieties bunched together in a big patch here.

How do you serve the jackfruit seeds?

Remove sprouts, they often come sprouted. Boiled 20 mins, rinse, remove skin, mix with steamed sweet potato greens, avocado, coconut meat, lime.

Its what the farm provides that day kind of recipe.
