A Piña Colada-Flavored Pineapple With Added Nutritional Benefits? Count Us In
VegNews • Jan 07, 2026
Dole has introduced a new variety of pineapple called Colada Royale, which tastes like a piña colada cocktail with hints of coconut and banana. Developed over 15 years in Honduras, the GMO-free fruit is praised for its juiciness and unique flavor profile by those who have tried it. The pineapple is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin C, B6, copper, potassium, and magnesium, making it a healthy addition to any diet.

Besides the traditional health benefits of pineapple, the Colada Royale variety offers an added bonus of containing two-and-a-half times more vitamin B6. This nutritional boost is a result of careful cross-pollination efforts by pineapple breeder Roberto Young, who spent years perfecting this new hybrid. The Colada Royale pineapple is now available at grocery stores across North America, offering a taste of summer even in the middle of winter.
