Pineapple
Scientific Name:
Ananas comosusThe pineapple is a tropical fruit plant known for its sweet and tangy fruit, which is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, and enzymes like bromelain, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It thrives in full sun, prefers well-drained soil, and requires moderate watering. Pineapple plants are well-suited to tropical climates and contribute to local ecosystems by attracting pollinators like bees. The plant’s dense, spiky leaves form a rosette, and the fruit grows atop a central stem.
