| Hello,
I just stumbled onto a site that lists almost 180 named varieties of Pineapple. See it here at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=18480 Does any body here have any first hand knowledge of any or all of these? I basically would like to know if there is a huge taste difference? I would also like to know if these are commercially available? If they are, does anybody have access to some that I can swap for? One last question, does anybody know the name of the common Pineapple found in the grocery stores on the mainland? Thank You in advance! Darren |
