FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does canned crushed pineapple last once opened?

Once opened, it should be transferred to a non-metallic airtight container and refrigerated. It will stay fresh for 3 to 5 days.

Can I freeze canned crushed pineapple?

Yes, you can freeze it in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 6 months. Note that the texture may become slightly softer upon thawing.

Is it better to buy pineapple in juice or syrup?

Pineapple packed in its own juice is generally healthier as it contains no added refined sugars, whereas syrup-packed versions are much higher in calories.

Can I substitute fresh pineapple for canned crushed pineapple?

Yes, you can pulse fresh pineapple in a food processor until it reaches a crushed consistency. However, fresh pineapple contains more active bromelain, which may affect the setting of gelatin or the texture of some baked goods.

Do I need to wash canned pineapple?

No, there is no need to wash it. You only need to drain it if your recipe specifically calls for 'drained' pineapple.

What are common uses for crushed pineapple?

It is commonly used in Hummingbird cake, carrot cake, ambrosia salads, cottage cheese bowls, and as a topping for ham or pizza.

How can I tell if canned pineapple has gone bad?

Discard the product if the can is bulging, rusted, or severely dented. If opened, look for an off-smell, fermentation (bubbles), or visible mold.
