Pineapple Wedge

Did you know…

☺ The name pineapple was derived from the word “pina” because Spanish explorers thought the fruit looked like a pinecone. (The English added the word “apple” to associate it with juicy luscious fruits.)

☺ “Halakahiki” (hah-lah-kah-hee-kee) is pineapple in Hawaiian.

☺ You can grow pineapple plants by slicing off the top of a pineapple and planting it in soil

☺ A ½ cup of pineapple contains approximately 25% of your daily recommended vitamin C. (Vitamin C is needed by the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels, and aids in the absorption of iron.)

☺ There are four types of pineapples. (Gold, Smooth Cayenne, Red Spanish and Sugar Loaf. Gold is the newest variety with an extra sweet flavor, golden color and higher vitamin C content.)

☺ Only one pineapple is produced by a single plant in a single season. And after all that time of reaching full maturity... You get a single pineapple. Yes, a pineapple plant will only flower and fruit once per season.

☺ A pineapple plant can stay alive and continue giving fruits for up to 50 years. So that’s 50 pineapples, in total!

☺ A pineapple is not a pine or an apple. It’s actually a berry. It's all a rouse. Technically, a pineapple is a mass of individual berries fused to a central stalk. If you want to be technical about it, pineapples are a berry.

☺ Sponge Bob SquarePants lives in a pineapple under the sea. It's true. I've seen it.
