Preparation: Fresh pineapples are first cleaned, peeled, and sliced into chunks of desired size. The pineapples are typically ripe and flavorful to ensure the best taste in the final product.
Freezing: The pineapple chunks are then placed in a freezer or a specialized freezing chamber. This freezing step helps preserve the fruit and retain its natural characteristics.
Freeze-Drying: This process preserves that natural flavor of pineapples while removing most of its moisture.
