Pineapples, often celebrated as a tropical delight, are adored for their sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant aroma. But of course, that’s not all, some even love the tartness of unripe pineapples because it cancels out the greasiness of certain food such as hamburgers, pizza and more.
Among the lush plantations of Alor Gajah, En. Khairil Anwar has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of pineapple cultivation. He founded NonehCekgu, where his MD2 pineapples have earned a distinguished reputation in the region. Let’s delve into the story behind NonehCekgu’s MD2 Pineapples and En. Anwar’s journey of pineapple farming.
The Allure of NonehCekgu’s MD2 Pineapples
The MD2 pineapple, known for its exceptional sweetness, juiciness, and thin rind. It’s a premium fruit prized for its superior taste and quality. The MD2 is a popular cultivar that has taken the world by storm. This pineapple variety is celebrated for its golden-yellow flesh, which boasts a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. Its flavor is often described as a tropical symphony, making it a preferred choice for pineapple lovers and culinary enthusiasts worldwide.
En. Anwar’s journey towards becoming the master of pineapples led him to Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, where he participated in a 9-month exchange program facilitated by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA). It was under the guidance of his foster parents that were passionate and disciplined farmers, En. Anwar learned the vital lesson of prioritizing the careful handling of pineapples and maintaining clean and organized storage areas.
By adhering against the norm of hasty harvesting, he discovered the significance of diligent care and attention to details. This significantly contributed to the production of high-quality MD2 pineapples that remain consistent in quality across each season. In addition to these practices, En. Anwar has also adopted Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) on his farm. As the cultivation process often involves meticulous care, including fertilization, irrigation, and pest control, this certification ensures that his farm adheres to the highest standards of agricultural production and environmental sustainability.
Golden Hues: Signs of a Ripe MD2 and Best Ways to Store Them
To identify a perfectly ripened MD2 pineapple is not a challenge at all if you know what to look for. It should be vibrant golden yellow skin with a slight tinge of brown at the base and should feel slightly soft when pressed gently near the base of the fruit. Most importantly, the smell of a ripe MD2 pineapple will have a sweet fragrant aroma coming from the base.
When it comes to storing unripened whole MD2 pineapples, they are best left at room temperature until the desired ripeness is reached. After that, they can remain stored at room temperature for a further 2 – 3 days. Once they are cut, it is recommended to have them tightly wrapped in plastic or airtight containers and refrigerated for up to 5 days to retain maximum freshness.
Since MD2 pineapples are known for their sweetness and versatility, they make for the perfect fruit for a variety of preparations. They can be cut traditionally into wedges, slices or chunks – an absolute timeless and refreshing way to enjoy the fruit’s natural sweetness. They can be paired with other tropical fruits in a fruit salad or a fruit platter, and even grilled with butter or brown sugar, added into salsa with red onions and cilantro. The best part about NonehCekgu’s MD2 pineapples is that the core is edible too! This makes them easy to prepare for blending into delicious and healthy juices, smoothies and cocktails.
