PINEAPPLE

A pineapple is a tropical fruit known for its vibrant appearance and sweet, tangy flavor. It has a distinctively spiky, rough outer skin that is typically golden yellow when ripe. The skin is tough and inedible, but it encloses the sweet, juicy flesh inside. The fruit has a crown of long, stiff leaves at the top, which gives it a unique and recognizable shape.

Pineapples are rich in vitamin C, manganese, and other beneficial nutrients like antioxidants and enzymes such as bromelain, which may have various health benefits. The fruit is typically consumed raw, but it can also be grilled, juiced, or used in savory and sweet dishes. Pineapples are often associated with tropical regions, particularly in places like Hawaii, the Philippines, and Costa Rica.
