Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is the common name for an edible tropical plant and also its fruit.^[1] It is native to the southern part of Brazil, and Paraguay.^[2] Pineapple is eaten fresh or canned and is available as a juice or in juice combinations. It is used in desserts, salads, as a complement to meat dishes and in fruit cocktail. While sweet, it is known for its high acid content (perhaps malic and/or citric). Pineapples are the only bromeliad fruit in widespread cultivation. It is one of the most commercially important plants which carry out CAM photosynthesis.
