I can't stress enough how good a ripe, homegrown pineapple tastes. Most people I know are not too keen on pineapples, because they have never tasted a ripe one! Also, Sugarloaf, Natal Queen,and Pernambuco are much better tasting than the standard Smooth Cayenne commercial varieties found in grocery stores! IMHO. There is one caveat though, it is reported that pineapples need full sun, and warm to hot humid conditions to produce optimum fruit sweetness and flavor.
