Pineapple Season Starts
One of the few fruits that I am not allergic to is pineapple. Taiwan produces many varieties of pineapple. From May to August is the season for pineapple. The first crop coming out right now is called "Golden Diamond". The meat is very juicy and sweet when the fruit is just ripe. In addition to enjoy the freshly cut pineapple, the fruit can also be used in several mouth-watering ways. Among these are the traditional pineapple cake, pineapple shrimp fried rice, and pineapple chicken soup.
Here is a little history I found. Pineapple in Taiwan was mainly canned for export during 60 and 70's. Because of the recent competition from other countries, the industry has shifted to domestic fresh markets. And that is why we can enjoy these cheap and delicious fruit. Thanks to WTO.
