Pineapple is a large tropical fruit with a spiky, rough rind and a tufted crown of stiff leaves. Its golden flesh is juicy and sweet-tart with a fragrant tropical aroma, and it stays firm when grilled or roasted. Use it fresh in salads and salsas, caramelized in desserts, blended into smoothies, or juiced; sold whole, prepped as spears or chunks, and commonly canned as rings or tidbits.\n\nNative to northern South America, pineapple spread through the Caribbean and reached Europe in the 16th century before global cultivation expanded. Today it is grown widely in tropical regions, with major exports from Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Thailand supplying markets year-round.
