Advantages Easily available and taste nice
Disadvantages The tin!
I decided to make some pasta with pineapple and salad. Tesco have stopped producing my favourite "own brand" tinned pineapple in their "basics" range so I decided to try Del Monte. It was 39p for a tin of pineapple rings. There were 4 rings in the tin, I discovered when I eventually got the tin open.
The tin had a ring pull and it was too tight to open. I tried all ways and the ring pull eventually snapped. I had to use a tin opener but that only opened half of the tin lid and then there were thin strips of metal hanging off it. I pulled and pulled and tried to use the tin opener again and ended up with juice all over me, right in my eye!Somewhat ironically, there was a warning to be careful when opening this tin!
Almost 10 minutes later, I managed to get the lid off but it was literally in ribbons. What a mess. Fortunately, none of the metal had gone into the pineapple.But what about the fruit itself? Well, it's in natural juice. There were very small brown bits of skin in the juice so I just had to pour that away. The rings themselves were medium size and were soft and sweet and there were no hard bits. The fruit wasn't chewy either and it had a full flavour.
I have no real qualms with this product except for the packaging. The tin is annoying and the label wasn't sticking down properly. I'm assuming this isn't a common occurence.Detailed Rating

Not a believer in pinneaple in a can. Love it fresh, though.
