Pineapple

Pineapple is a tropical fruit with a sweet and tangy flavor that is widely enjoyed around the world. It has a spiky, rough exterior and a juicy, yellow flesh that is rich in vitamins C and B6, as well as fiber and enzymes that aid digestion. Pineapple can be eaten fresh, cooked, or canned, and is often used in smoothies, salads, desserts, and savory dishes. Pineapple is typically grown in tropical climates, but can be found in many grocery stores year-round. When selecting a pineapple, look for one that is heavy for its size, with a firm, slightly yielding texture and a sweet, fruity aroma at the base. To prepare a pineapple, cut off the top and bottom, and then slice off the skin in a spiral pattern. Remove the core and cut the fruit into chunks or slices as desired.
