Smooth Cayenne, grown in Hawaii, is the primary pineapple variety in the world. This variety weighs between 3-5 ½ pounds and is known for its high acid and sugar content.
The Smooth Cayenne has recently been transplanted successfully to Central America. The difference between the Hawaiian Smooth Cayenne and the Central America variety is the color of their skin when they are ripe.
When ripe, the Hawaiian pineapple is golden tan or reddish orange color while the Central American varieties are still green.
