Grown in Costa Rica after a 15-year development period, the Rubyglow pineapple is a registered plant patent in the U.S., Del Monte describes it as a cross between a traditional pineapple and a Morada variety.

The hybrid fruit takes two years to grow, and its limited seed supply is the reason behind the scarcity of pineapples in the global market. Only a few thousand will be produced this year.
