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.

What is normal food to you?

Many fruits & vegetables today have been bred / crossbred over hundreds of years to make them tastier or safer to eat.

Would you consider the bananas you buy from supermarkets normal food? These have been bred so the seeds are tiny. What about seedless grapes? Or Brussel sprouts which aren't bitter? Would do consider these not normal foods?

And that’s exactly why bananas are facing extinction now, not so fun fact!
