The rare pineapple — only a few thousand produced each year — is being sold at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty shop in Vernon, California, according to KTLA.

It was developed in Costa Rica after 16 years of research, according to the fruit wholesaler Del Monte Foods.

“As the leaders of pineapple innovation, we’re excited to debut our latest creation, the Rubyglow pineapple,” Del Monte announced on its website.

“Named for the ruby and its rich red color, scarce supply and association with luxury, this exceptional fruit offers a special experience to those who appreciate uniqueness.”

According to The Guardian, the pineapple was previously available only in China.
