The peak season for pineapple generally runs from March through July in most tropical regions such as Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Thailand, where the majority of pineapples are harvested during this period. This is when pineapples are at their sweetest and juiciest
. However, there are some regional variations:
- In Hawaii, the peak season is slightly later, from June to August
- In Costa Rica, the season can run from November to April, overlapping somewhat with the general peak
- In Southeast Asia, the peak season may be from November to February
Despite these variations, pineapples are available year-round globally due to continuous harvesting in different regions and international trade, but for the best quality and flavor, March to July is considered the prime season in many key pineapple-producing areas
