Sunsweet introduces Philippine Pineapple, an unbelievably sweet and juicy dried fruit snack

Taste and nutrition have long been topics of discussion when making choices for your diet. With so much uncertainty over what products are healthy in the marketplace, Sunsweet Growers is proud to lead the way by delivering delicious, convenient and nutritious foods to help people lead healthier lives. The latest addition is the release of Sunsweet’s Philippine Pineapple in a 6-ounce package – now making it easier to get the maximum health benefits out of a satisfying snacking choice. And, it’s so sweet and juicy you won’t believe it’s actually dried fruit!

What makes Philippine Pineapple different is the extraordinary effort Sunsweet goes through to bring top-quality product to consumers. Philippine Pineapple is grown in ideal conditions in the Philippines, planted at elevations of 2,000 to 3,000 ft, where cooler temperatures add more moisture to the finished product versus pineapple grown in hotter climates or at lower elevations.

“People are searching for healthy snacking alternatives and dried fruit is a treat that’s always smart to eat,” said Steve Harris, vice president of marketing at Sunsweet Growers. “Not only is Philippine Pineapple great for a quick and convenient snack, it really does satisfy the most serious sweet tooth!”

In today’s fast-paced, snack-driven culture, perishability and convenience make fresh fruit difficult to eat. Sunsweet’s offering of delicious and nutritious products, like Philippine Pineapple, makes eating dried fruit a smart choice – anytime, anywhere.
