The yellow berries have a pineapple-like flavor. Once the lantern dries and becomes transparent, it can be eaten as a sweet snack, garnish, or cake decoration. One bag covers approximately 3 m², and the planting distance is 40x40 cm.
The small pineapple cherry produces small, yellow fruits with a pineapple-like flavor. The fruits are ripe when the lantern dries and becomes translucent. Delicious as a sweet snack, beautiful as a garnish, and a cheerful decoration for your cake.
Sow in March and transplant in April-May. After hardening off the seedlings, place them in a warm, sunny, and sheltered spot in the ground, spacing them 40x40 cm apart. The plants will grow to approximately 60-90 cm tall. Provide sturdy support and protect them from night frost and wind.
You can harvest the berries in August and September, as soon as the lantern dries out and becomes transparent.
Collaboration between the Small Farm Foundation and Pickers
🌱 This product was selected by Hester from the De Kleine Boerderij foundation, a social food garden in Fochteloo where pesticide-free vegetables are grown for low-income households. People can harvest their own produce and learn about healthy eating, neighbors can connect, and vegetables are distributed through the local food bank and the Salvation Army. The garden also provides tools for making healthy, budget-friendly meals with these vegetables, and children in the garden learn where their food comes from. For every order, we contribute €0.50 to the garden. Read more about this initiative here .

Saving seeds
Saving seeds
Store seeds in a cool, dry and dark place, such as a sealed box in a cupboard. Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and use them before that time. If the packaging has been opened, make sure it is sealed properly and check the germination capacity before use.
You can easily test the germination capacity of seeds with a germination test :
- Place a few seeds (for example 10) on a damp piece of kitchen paper.
- Fold the paper towel closed and place it in a plastic bag or place it in a sealed container.
- Place it in a warm place, such as on the windowsill.
- After a few days, check to see if the seeds have started to germinate.
