What are Pineapples?

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical fruit known for its spiky skin and sweet, tangy inside. People enjoy its refreshing taste and use it in many dishes around the world. You can eat it fresh, but it also comes dried, frozen, canned, or as juice. This makes it popular in stores, food production, and restaurants. Pineapple is often enjoyed with other tropical fruits like mango, banana, or papaya.
