100% Pineapple Juice

"Neither pine nor apple, the curiously named pineapple is native to the regions of South America that now make up Brazil and Paraguay. The Spanish were the first to ponder its piny-ness, calling it “piña” (pine cone), as well as “ananá,” a nod to the indigenous Tupi word “nanas,” which means “excellent fruit.” The Spanish are also said to have brought the fruit to the Philippines, which is now the world’s largest pineapple growing region—and also happens to be where Trader Joe’s 100% Pineapple Juice is made.

Trader Joe’s 100% Pineapple Juice isn’t just made with 100% Pineapple Juice (as in, that’s the only ingredient included), it’s also made with 100% of the pineapple (minus the foliage, of course)! Our supplier in the Philippines takes whole pineapples and puts them through a juicer, so not a single bit is lost—and not a single drop of concentrate is used, either. Fruit to juicer to can to Trader Joe’s—that’s a pretty succinct summation of how this Juice gets to you. Sweet and tropical with bright, balanced acidity, we recommend you chill it down and drink it straight, add it to your favorite cocktails and mocktails, or mix into a homemade marinade."
