Like pineapple? Got $400? A store in Southern California can hook you up with the Cadillac of pineapples — the Rubyglow.
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.
