(Ananas Comosus)
Pineapple is a tasty and juicy tropical plant native to the South American region. It is now grown in many tropical countries around the world, such as Thailand, the Philippines, Brazil, and Costa Rica, and has become one of the most popular fruits in many cuisines around the world.
Pineapple is part of the Bromeliaceae family and has a rather unusual way of growing. It does not grow on trees, like most fruit plants, but grows on the ground, in a huge leafy rosette, from the middle of which grows a stem on which the fruit is formed. When the pineapple reaches maturity, it is ready for harvest and consumption.

Pineapple has a unique flavor and aroma that combines sweetness and a slight sourness. This fruit is rich in vitamins, in particular vitamin C, which helps to support the immune system and skin health. The vitamins and antioxidants found in pineapple make it a great addition to a balanced diet.
The uses of pineapple are not limited to nutritional purposes. Thanks to its natural enzymes, in particular bromelain, pineapple can be used to tenderize meat as a natural tenderizer. In addition, bromelain can also have anti-inflammatory properties and promote the absorption of proteins in the body.
Interesting fact: pineapple gets its name from the combination of the words ‘ana’ (meaning ‘native’ or ‘local’) and ‘nana’ (meaning ‘smell’), due to its wonderful aroma. The name ‘pineapple’ comes from the Spanish language, where it is derived from the word ‘ananas’, which in turn was borrowed from Guarani, a language spoken by the indigenous people of South America. Thus, pineapple literally translates as ‘local smell’ or ‘local aroma’, which is quite consistent with its natural aromaticity.
