Pineapple

Chef Jason Hill of http://www.CookingSessions.com... '>http://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.
