In Summary:
The pineapple got its name in English because of its resemblance to a pinecone, but in many European countries, it’s called some derivative of annas which comes from the Paraguayan word nana, meaning "exquisite fruit." (And we agree!) Pineapple is native to South and Central America and is known there for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
Bromelain, an enzyme found in the juice and stem of pineapples, has been used medicinally since ancient times to help reduce inflammation, lessen hay fever symptoms, slow blood clotting, and even enhance the absorption of antibiotics. More than just anti-inflammation, researchers suggest bromelain can be used to control the growth of tumors and malignant cells.
If
that’s not awesome enough, pineapple is packed with good fiber to help
digestion, vitamin C to boost that immune system, and one cup of diced
pineapple is only 77 calories. Pineapples are a composite of many
flowers whose individual fruitlets fuse together around a central core.
Each fruitlet can be identified by an "eye," the rough spiny marking on
the pineapple's surface. Pineapples have a wide cylindrical shape, a
scaly green, brown or yellow skin and a regal crown of spiny, blue-green
leaves and fibrous yellow flesh. The area closer to the base of the
fruit has more sugar content and therefore a sweeter taste and more
tender texture.
The pineapple is the leading edible member of the family Bromeliaceae which embraces about 2,000 species, mostly epiphytic and many strikingly ornamental. Now known botanically as Ananas comosus Merr. (syns. A. sativus Schult. f., Ananassa sativa Lindl., Bromelia ananas L., B. comosa L.), the fruit has acquired few vernacular names. It is widely called pina by Spanish-speaking people, abacaxi in the Portuguese tongue, ananas by the Dutch and French and the people of former French and Dutch colonies; nanas in southern Asia and the East Indies. In China, it is po-lo-mah; sometimes in Jamaica, sweet pine; in Guatemala often merely "pine".
