Pineapples are tropical fruits characterized by their spiky, rough outer skin and crown of green leaves. They have a cylindrical shape with a golden-yellow to orange-colored flesh inside, arranged in juicy, fibrous segments. Pineapples have a sweet and tangy flavor with hints of tropical essence, making them a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Rich in vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain, pineapples offer numerous health benefits. They are enjoyed fresh, juiced, grilled, or incorporated into salads, desserts, smoothies, and cocktails.
