The tropical pineapple, scientifically known as Ananas comosus, is an exotic plant from the bromeliad family, characterized by its fragrant and sweet fruit. This fruit, unique in its composite structure, originally comes from South America, especially from Brazil. Pineapple has been cherished throughout history for its delicious flavor and its symbolism of hospitality, as evidenced by its use as a welcoming gesture to Columbus and his entourage on their first landing in the Americas.

With different botanical varieties, pineapple offers options without seeds, with seeds capable of germination, and with leaves that facilitate its collection. This tropical fruit is not only a delight to the palate but also a demonstration of the richness and diversity of the South American flora that has conquered the tastes of people worldwide.
