Welcome to the land of hillocks and high hills adorned with valleys and rivers with moderately humid and warm climate in the Northeast of India. Welcome to Tripura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also the land of pineapples,\u00a0jackfruits, litchis, oranges, limes, lemons, cashew nuts, and coconuts.\u00a0The beauty of this land is that fruits are abundantly grown\u00a0on hillocks, harnessing the well-distributed rainfall of this region. And yes, farmers hardly use chemical fertilizers here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, we will give you a glimpse of Queen\u00a0and Kew varieties of pineapples. These are grown abundantly in the State of Tripura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mid-May to Mid-September is the period wherein you can enjoy the delicious, vitamin C rich varieties of pineapple in this quintessential Northeast state of India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June7, 2018, President of India Ram Nath Kovind had declared the Queen variety of pineapple as the state fruit of Tripura, citing that this variety connects the state with world trade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2015, Queen\u00a0pineapple\u00a0received the\u00a0<\/em>Geographical indication(GI) tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what\u2019s so special about Queen?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of Queen pineapple variety is golden yellow, spiny, and with a sweet aroma. The best time to harvest these fruits is when their eyes turn yellow. This usually happens from mid May to mid July. This is a time when you find a lot of Queen pineapples doing the rounds in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Average weight of this pineapple is 600-800 grams. The juice is bright yellow. TSS (Total Soluble Solids) of the fruit ranges from 10 to 14 brix, on the basis of the maturity stage and season. Its pH is 4.0 to 4.5. Water content is anything between 80% and 90%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Queen pineapple has a unique aroma that makes it different from\u00a0other pineapple varieties\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kew pineapple is spineless and big in size. The fruit weighs between 1.5 kg and 3.0 kg. The fruit is very juicy. TSS is 8 to 12 brix. Juice is light yellow. The fruit is highly aromatic. This variety is best for canning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you harvest pineapples at half-ripe stage, the fruits can be kept fresh\u00a0for up to 3 weeks when stored at 12-13 degree Celsius.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The traditional lore of Tripura features an age-old belief, which is still alive. The belief is: \u201cpineapple would never betray us.\u201d People believe that pineapple crop would never betray them, meaning the crop would almost always give them a bumper harvest. And it has been so for decades together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pineapple has proved true to the belief and has been offering a substantial income to farmers every year. Any other crop would fail in an unfavourable condition, but pineapple is a crop that stands by Darwin\u2019s theory, \u201csurvival of the fittest.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Farmers of Tripura pioneered cultivation\u00a0of pineapple and the state is abundant of these yellow, juicy\u00a0fruits that offer a refreshing\u00a0delight in the hot months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n source: https:\/\/krishijagran.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the land of hillocks and high hills adorned with valleys and rivers with moderately humid and warm climate in the Northeast of India.
