Fresh Pineapple Weights & Calories (In Charts)

In this article, I’ve put together a calculator and charts so you can quickly work out the exact weights and calories of various portions of fresh pineapple, including whole and chopped weights.

Fresh pineapples are usually sold whole or cut down to smaller pieces in shops and stores, when I refer to fresh on this page, this means uncanned without any added juice or sugar.

Key Takeaways

  1. Weight and Calories of Fresh Pineapple: A standard medium-sized pineapple weighs between 900-1100g (31.7-38.8oz). Every 100g of pineapple contains approximately 50 calories.
  2. Serving Sizes: The recommended serving size for fresh pineapple is one large slice or one cup of chopped pineapple, which equates to around 164g/5.78oz per serving, containing 82 calories.
  3. Edible Weight vs. Waste: About half of a whole fresh pineapple’s total weight is considered waste (crown, skin, core). Therefore, the edible fruit weight is roughly half the original weight of the pineapple.

Fresh Pineapple Weights & Calories (In Charts)

How Much Does a Whole Fresh Pineapple Weigh?

I weighed individual whole fresh pineapples (including the stalk, outer skin, etc) to get an average pineapple weight.

The average weight of one whole average medium-sized pineapple is 900 – 1100g / 31.7 – 38.8oz.

Because pineapples are a natural product and can vary in size and weight quite a bit, I’ve categorized them into small, medium, and large.

How Much of a Fresh Pineapple is Waste?

To get an average edible fruit weight per fresh pineapple once the crown (leaf cluster at the top of the pineapple), skin, and tough core are removed, I weighed the waste parts from average-sized pineapples.

Around half of the total weight of a whole fresh pineapple is waste, so to get an average edible fruit weight per pineapple you will need to half the original weight.

This is an average weight and will vary slightly for each pineapple depending on the size of the crown and thickness of the skin.
