Pineapple

Our customers use pineapple because of its bold tropical flavor, natural sweetness, and functional properties in a wide range of products. Pineapple has a distinctive sweet-tart taste that enhances beverages, desserts, sauces, and snacks, often adding brightness and complexity to formulations. It contains the enzyme bromelain, which is used as a natural meat tenderizer and adds functional value in food processing. Pineapple is also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting immune health and wellness marketing claims. It is commonly processed into juices, concentrates, dried pieces, and canned forms, which extend shelf life and make it convenient for large-scale manufacturing while ensuring consistent flavor and quality.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

Sugar and Bromelain

Pineapple is a tropical fruit that grows on a low-growing plant in the bromeliad family, native to South America. It has a rough, spiky outer skin and a tough, fibrous core, with sweet, juicy yellow flesh inside. Pineapples develop from a cluster of flowers that fuse together into a single fruit. The plant grows close to the ground and typically produces one fruit at a time. Pineapples thrive in warm, tropical climates and take several months to mature. They have been cultivated for centuries and were historically a symbol of hospitality and wealth.
