Pineapple
Chef Jason Hill of www.CookingSessions.com visits the Hawaiian pineapple fields at Dole Pineapple Plantation in Oahu to learn more about fresh pineapple. Many people are surprised to discover that pineapples do not grow on trees. The pineapple plant is relatively small — reaching between 3-5 feet tall. Peak season for Hawaiian pineapples is between April and May. Pineapple nutrition includes good sources of manganese, vitamins C and B1. Some people say it’s also a great pain reliever. Other benefits of pineapple are its amazing source of bromelain, which is wonderful for joint health. James Dole started his pineapple plantation here in 1901. Inside the retail store, you can enjoy their fresh pineapple juice and buy pineapple related products, including their delicious pineapple Dole Whip, a frozen dessert topped with pineapple cocktail. In this video, Chef Jason shows how to cut a pineapple, which is delicious served fresh, or as a pineapple smoothie or on top of a pineapple cake. For more pineapple facts and tips, visit http
magnese? you mean manganese or magnesium???
Thanks for ‘tubing” in. First time I heard that pun. I like it…
Making me hungry! I love good fruit! Great video!
@wrestleforpizza Thanks. I came up with it years ago when we first started the channel, and it just stuck. Cheers! Jason
@lovelyaley manganese. Sorry.

@Hermyoni33 Yes, the maze is still there. But it was raining, so we didn’t go through it. Maybe next time!
@golddigger0325 Sounds good. Thanks!
@mambomx Yes, that’s great. Stay tuned for our Hawaiian Huli Huli Grilled Chicken video, coming soon!
@vorpal22 Hi, it was a “working” vacation. My brother lives on the North Shore. We’d love to move there someday as well. If not, a vacation house will do just fine! Good luck on your schooling. Sounds like you won’t have any trouble finding a good job! Cheers, Jason
@vorpal22 That sounds wonderful! Can you message it to me? Can’t wait to see it!
Its a bromeliad. Bromeliad’s make beautiful house plants but pineapples are the only edible one we know of.
Also, the pineapple contains, bromelain. A great anti-inflammatory enzyme and helps with digestion.
my mom will put the pineapple slices into salt water.
what for?
They are good anti- cancer food too.

Thanks,

Oh wow all this time I thought a pineapple came from a tree! I’ve been living a lie! I never and I mean never buy pineapples because I don’t know how to pick a good one out. Thanks for the tips.
I <3 fresh pinapple! thanks Jason!!!
I like you style of cutting up the pineapple, however I have one “complaint” to make…..you didn’t rinse the pineapple before you plated it
I’m originally from a country where cutting up your own pineapples is a regular thing and you’ll know for certain if it wasn’t rinsed off after cutting.
ahaha! “aaaw!” lol
the core is great for guinea pigs although mine wont eat them, she finicky … thanks J now my mouth is watering lol
