Piña pa la Niña

Pineapple is loved not only by a handful of people but throughout the entire globe. This acidic fruit is beloved as a cold treat in hot weather as well as an exotic ingredient in plenty of international cuisines.




The pineapple is a fruit native to hot weather, preferably the tropics where is grown as a crop, elsewhere is grown as an ornamental plant.


The pineapple is a compound fruit, meaning that the final "product" is the result of multiple fruits melded together and that is the reason of the external look of the fruit. Each tiny fruit composing the pineapple was a violet flower, which blooms only one day and then proceeds to grow into a fruit which then becomes part of a bunch of fruits melding together by growth into a composite one.
