DW: It would be worth it if the pineapple could clean my house and get a part time job!
The Fresh Del Monte fruit company has developed a rare hybrid pineapple called the Rubyglow, which features a reddish-pink exterior and comes individually packaged in an intricate origami-style box. But here’s what makes this fruit not so sweet…it sells for a whopping $400 per fruit!
However, the price is justified by the fact that only a few thousand Rubyglow pineapples are slated for production over the next two years since each fruit requires a specialized growing process from limited seeds and takes about two years to fully mature. This latest Frankenfruit now joins the ranks of the Mini Honeyglow "personal-size" pineapple and the world's first pink pineapple, the Pinkglow.
