Ultra-Sweet, Low-Acid Pineapple White Jade Pineapple (Ananas comosus), also known as Hawaiian White Pineapple, is a rare and highly sought-after variety prized for its ultra-sweet, low-acid flavor and tender, creamy white flesh. Originally cultivated in Hawaii, this gourmet pineapple produces smaller fruits than standard varieties but makes up for its size with exceptional flavor. Unlike many pineapples, White Jade has a tender, edible core, making the entire fruit enjoyable with little waste. This compact pineapple is both edible and ornamental, with a striking rosette of short, spiky, sword-like green leaves. Typically reaching 2–3 ft. tall, White Jade is ideal for tropical gardens, small spaces, and containers. It thrives in tropical climates and can be grown in containers in cooler areas, bringing a taste of the tropics to patios and greenhouses.
