Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice is the pressed liquid from ripe pineapples, typically golden-yellow and translucent. It tastes sweet-tart with a tropical aroma and light viscosity, and it brightens cocktails, marinades, and sauces. Commonly sold fresh-pressed, pasteurized, or reconstituted from concentrate.\n\nOriginating in South America, pineapple spread through the Caribbean and Pacific, and commercial juicing expanded in the early twentieth century. Today major production comes from tropical regions, where juice is pasteurized or made from concentrate for global distribution.
