PINEAPPLE

Pineapple Facts
Ananas comosus is the botanical name of the fruit we know as the pineapple. Native to South America, it was named for its resemblance to a pine cone

Pineapples have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavor that balances the tastes of sweet and tart. Just one cup of fresh pineapple supplies 128.0% of the DV for this very important trace mineral. In addition to manganese, pineapple is a good source of thiamin.

Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the pineapple on the island of Guadeloupe in 1493, although the fruit had long been grown in South America. He called it "pine of the Indians."
