Grow your own deliciously sweet tropical fruit with Sugarloaf Pineapple seeds! Known for its exceptionally low acidity, creamy white flesh, and ultra-sweet flavor, the Sugarloaf Pineapple (Ananas comosus 'Sugarloaf') is a prized variety originally cultivated in the Caribbean and parts of West Africa. Unlike the more common yellow-fleshed pineapples, Sugarloaf is less tangy and easier on the stomach, making it a favorite for fresh eating. The plant features long, spiky leaves and grows into an attractive, spiny rosette that produces a single, show-stopping fruit. ?
