Pineapple’s succulent combination of sweet, tart and fragrant has entranced folks for decades. For more than a century, Maui was the heart of the Hawaiian pineapple industry.

Maui Pineapple: Golden Legacy of the Crowned Fruit reviews the storied history of pineapple on Maui, from its beginnings in the 1840s, when thousands of fresh fruit went by clipper ship to California, to Hawaiian pineapple’s glory days of the early 1900s, and finally through the industry’s contraction due to international competition. Today, fresh Maui pineapple is still available, and as lip-smacking tasty as ever.
