Dole Pineapple Tidbits in Light Syrup for Canadian Food Service
When you're plating fruit bowls for a 200-seat breakfast buffet, the pineapple has to look like pineapple. Dole Pineapple Tidbits in Light Syrup gives you exactly that. Each 2.68 L / 5.66 lbs can is filled with uniform wedge-shaped fruit, six cans to a case. One case covers roughly 90 half-cup fruit cups, which keeps a morning line stocked for a full week without the store going stale.
Dole Pineapple Tidbits, In Light Syrup2.68L/5.66Lbs (6/Case): Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
Dole grades these for food service. The tidbits are screened for size and colour, with no core bits or ragged edges, and the light syrup runs about 10 to 12 percent sugar by weight. That keeps the fruit moist and subtly sweet without coating your palate. When you're holding a fruit station open for three hours during a brunch rush, you need a can that opens clean and stays bright, and this one does.

"One of our wholesale customers runs a 320-bed institutional complex in Calgary, and they order this case every two weeks for their fruit cart. The lead cook told me they plate about 90 fruit cups per case, and the tidbits stay clean for three days in their fridge. When they tested a different brand, they got brown edges after one day. That's why they've stuck with Dole for two years now."
Pineapple is showing up well beyond fruit salad these days. We see it in pineapple salsa for taco bars, in savoury glazes on grilled chicken, even in the filling for baked pastries. The light syrup is the reason this product works in all those places: it's not fighting your seasonings with heavy sugar, so you keep control of the final flavour. Since we carry more than just fruit, you can bundle this case with your coconut flakes, canned tomatoes, and other staples in one order. Here is the rest of our food service range.
Quality & Specifications
Dole Pineapple Tidbits in Light Syrup. Each can holds 2.68 L / 5.66 lbs net weight, with a drained fruit yield of roughly 65 percent, which comes to about 1.6 kg of fruit per can. The cut is a small, wedge-shaped tidbit that holds its shape during holding and stirring.
Professional Applications
Breakfast fruit cups and banquet fruit salads, pineapple salsa for a taco station, baked fruit compote with cinnamon for a Sunday brunch, and a quick glaze for grilled chicken using the drained syrup. You can also fold the tidbits into a cream cheese filling for Danish pastries.
Storage & Handling
Keep unopened cans at room temperature, 15 to 20 C, in a dry area away from heat. Once opened, move the fruit to a covered container and hold at 3 to 4 C. Use within 3 days. Never let fruit sit in the open tin, because the pineapple acids can affect the metal liner over time.
Canadian Sourcing
These ship from our Calgary distribution hub coast-to-coast to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, usually within 2 to 5 business days. Because the cans come from Dole's consistent supply, the colour, texture, and brix stay steady across seasons, which matters when you are costing out a standard menu item.
