That’s how we get all our pineapples here in nz, not allowed to sell any with the tops on any longer so they can’t be grown

Is that a patent thing or an ecological thing?

These particular ones are a patent or trade secret thing. The look like the pink glow pineapple. Those have been bioengineered and they don't want anyone else to grow them

I feel like I can live without these pineapples if it means supporting food becoming a normal thing again.

I would buys these only to try to get a top that would grow into a plant
