A privileged soil

We carefully select and classify the seeds to maintain a uniform harvest and they are planted in our farms located in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, where the agroclimatic conditions are favorable for the cultivation of MD2 pineapple throughout the year. The main characteristic of our pineapple is its sweet flavor that contains the perfect amount of nutrients. Its juiciness is granted by the richness of the soil and the proper management of the field and crops, which favor an exemplary setting where our pineapples take root year after year. Thanks to the care taken from the selection of the seed to its shipment, Agroeden’s MD2 pineapples have received several international certifications.

 

Harvesting and processing

Using a top-of-the-line pineapple harvester helps optimize our employees’ time and effort. The fruit is carefully placed and transported in containers from the field to the packing house.

Pineapples have micronutrients that, according to the experts, protect from cancer and strengthen the heart. Pineapple juice has diuretic properties and stimulates the kidneys while helping to eliminate body toxins. Additionally, bromelain enzymes have an anti-inflammatory effect that helps in arthritis, gout, swollen throat or acute sinus, and accelerates the healing process of wounds caused, either by accidents, or by surgery.

TIP:  For anti-inflammatory effects, pineapple should be eaten between meals.  If consumed during or after meals it will enhance digestion.
