When do pineapples ripen and when are they available?

1. Maturity Time

1. Spring pineapple: It ripens in all seasons. The first ones to mature in the year are in April, and are also the first batch to be listed on the market. More will mature later.

2. Summer pineapple: The pineapple that matures in spring is the summer pineapple. The maturity period is usually between June and July. However, if the temperature is too high and the light is too strong at this time, its growth will be affected and the supply will be reduced accordingly.

3. Autumn pineapple: Some of the pineapples will mature between October and November in autumn. They are called autumn pineapples at this time. The taste is weaker than that in summer. They are not as sweet as those in summer and are full of moisture.

4. Winter pineapple: Winter is the last season for it to mature. The temperature is low at this time and the growth time is relatively long. It mostly matures in December and is the last batch of the year.

2. Time to market

Most pineapples that mature in spring will be available on the market around March, some earlier and some later. Summer ones are available around May. The autumn season is in September and the winter season is in November. Its launch time is generally one month earlier than the maturity time, which may help it seize the market and make more money. If you buy them to eat yourself, it is best to choose fully ripe ones, as they will taste better.
