Pineapple is a tropical fruit known for its distinctive spiky outer skin and sweet, tangy flavor. The fruit grows on a plant with a rosette of long, sword-like leaves at the top, and its exterior is rough and prickly, typically golden-brown in color. Once peeled, the inside reveals vibrant yellow flesh that’s juicy, firm, and fibrous, with a central core that’s tougher and less flavorful.
