“Pineapple” is a tropical fruit native to South America, especially the region between southern Brazil and Paraguay. Native people of South America cultivated and consumed pineapple centuries before introducing this fruit to other parts of the world. Christopher Columbus met pineapple on his second voyage to the Americas in 1493. Spanish and Portuguese explorers introduced pineapple to other tropical regions, including parts of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. Today, the main pineapple producing countries include Costa Rica, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, India and Nigeria.
A pineapple is not just a fruit, but a combination of flowers whose individual fruits are united around a central core. The fruit grows from the flowering of the pineapple plant, and each “eye” on the surface of the pineapple represents a separate flower. It takes about two to three years for the pineapple plant to produce its first fruit. When a pineapple plant bears fruit, it usually produces only one pineapple at a time.
The time of harvesting this fruit is very important because after picking, the pineapple is no longer ripe and sweet. Therefore, it is necessary to harvest it at the time of maturity. Pineapples are consumed fresh, juiced, canned all over the world.
