QUEENSLANDERS are being encouraged to support their local pineapple growers by swapping out their pumpkin carving for some sweet, spooky pineapple carving.
QUEENSLANDERS are being encouraged to support their local pineapple growers by swapping out their pumpkin carving for some sweet, spooky pineapple carving.
Queensland pineapple growers Pure Gold Pineapples have put the task to locals to drop the American custom of carving pumpkins and instead support the local pineapple industry.
To get people involved and behind the cause Pure Gold Pineapples have released limited edition spooky pines that will be available on major supermarket shelves across Australia throughout October.
General Manager of Tropical Pines Anthony Dobson said that him and his team are excitedly awaiting all the cool and spooky pineapple carving idea people come up with this year.
“This is our fourth year of Spooky Pines and we’re thrilled that Aussies have embraced this new tradition that supports local farmers,” he said.
“We can’t wait to see what spooky creations people come up with this Halloween.”
Unlike pumpkins carving pineapples doesn’t leave any waste as people can easily and simply use the excess to eat or chuck in a recipe.
