Pineapple (Ananas comosus)

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical fruit known for its sweet, tangy flavor and juicy, fibrous flesh. It belongs to the bromeliad family and is cultivated mainly in warm, tropical regions. The fruit develops from a cluster of flowers that fuse together, forming the characteristic Pineapple shape with a rough, spiky exterior and a crown of leafy top. Rich in vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain—a natural enzyme—pineapples are enjoyed fresh, juiced, or used in cooking and desserts. They also have health benefits, including aiding digestion and reducing inflammation.
