I'll guess that 97% of us get them from the store, 2% got them from someone they know who worked (now laid off) at Del Monte plantation, .5% grow their own and .5% steal them from the side of the road along the plantation fields in Kunia.

Re: Pineapples

Are you looking for the actual (and whole) fruit itself or would you be happy with it being already sliced?

I take it the on base stores don't have the canned variety available?

Foodland Ala Moana sells the sliced ones in a plastic container in the produce section.

Re: Pineapples

What base you on? Central area? Tamuras and Foodland have fresh pineapples most of the time....or like someone mentioned, when in season make like a tourist and stop by the side of the road. Make like you're taking pictures of the coast line and have another family member "take a walk" and go kakaroach one.

KMCBH, go Safeway, or is it Foodland, at Aikahi SC or just drive into Kaneohe town.

Airport side, check out Marukai, but you have to pay $10 per year to be a member.

Almost any supermarket will have. No need drive out to Dole unless you don't mind the drive. Maybe take in lunch at the Helemano Plantation restaurant.

Re: Pineapples

The lopped off top can be replanted to grow more pineapples, but it takes a long time...
I get mines from Times, Costco, or Chinatown.
I dust chopped up pineapple with li hing mui powder. My wife eats it without the powder.
