  • Description

    The first encounter between a European and a Pineapple was not a happy one. Well, it ended ok, but started out rather startlingly to say the least. The year was 1493, the month, November. The location, a deserted Carib village on the island of Guadeloupe. Christopher Columbus and his men have just weighed anchor and come ashore in rowboats to see what they can scrounge up. The men are hungry, they are parched, Columbus, cranky after a long voyage is in desperate need of something to eat. Up the beach in the village, the men spot some cooking pots that have been left unattended near some huts. The men rejoice. They run to the simmering pots to see what?s on the menu. Wild boar? Fowl? They reach the pots and immediately recoil in horror and grave disappointment. Columbus reaches the cooking fires and peers into the pots. Simmering in a fine broth are human body parts! Columbus reaches for a handkerchief and crestfallen, casts his eyes away from the gruesome stew. The men will go hungry again!

    Or will they? For beside the pots of stewing limbs are heaps of fresh fruits and vegetables, perhaps intended as a side dish to the exotic "main course". Columbus? eyes widen as the men pull a strange fruit with a spiky interior from the pile. One of them brandishes his cutlass and slices it cleanly in half, exposing juicy, golden flesh. He raises it to his lips and declares it to be "magnifico!" Columbus is thrilled. They have come to the New World in search of gold and they have found it! And it tastes good! Then they remembered what they had seen in the cooking pots. Columbus instructs the men to grab as many of the fruits as they can carry and they hustle back to the rowboats.
    Since that fateful November day, Pineapples have traveled to virtually every tropical corner of the Earth. Columbus himself introduced the fruit to many locations in the Americas. To this day the fruit is prized the world over for its sweet pulpy flesh and rich flavor. We?re pleased to offer these freeze dried pineapple pieces in an effort to spread the good word. Use them to add depth and color to custom tea and herbal tea blends.

    ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.

    FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today's water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
