Enjoying a cold slice of pineapple from Caqueta is like tasting a magical delicacy because of its unparalleled sweetness, its fiber's soft texture, and the magical flavor of the pineapples that only grows in Caqueta, which are known as an Indian pineapple, purple pineapple, or crespa pineapple. It is a delicacy that floods the region, where it is typically served sliced, frozen, in jams, and special desserts but never in juices because, they say, it would be wasting a magnificent flavor.
A large percentage of the farms in Caqueta have a piece of land dedicated to the cultivation of these pineapple varieties; the region's fruit par excellence, mainly exploited in its natural form in desserts and sweets, and its skin is used to make masato and chicha, traditional beverages that are greatly appreciated in Caqueta.
Thus, when foreigners arrive in the region, especially national or international personalities, they're always given some pineapple, which they enjoy greatly and seek to take to their hometowns, so that their families and relatives can also taste them.
And when someone from the region travels within the country, he takes some pineapples from Caqueta, helping to slowly position this delicacy in many Colombian households and raising expectations of what would happen if it were marketed nationally and international.
Hopefully, the magic of the pineapple from Caqueta, a delicacy from the Amazons, will continue delighting more and more households, friends, and foreigners. Hopefully, production will continue to be organic, free of any chemicals or polluting agents caused by the mining policy that is affecting the country.
