Pineapple is a herbaceous, perennial plant of the bromeliad family with large, pointed leaves.
It develops from tiny, lavender flowers on a short stalk that grow from the center of the leaves. The flowers fuse with the bracts to become fleshy and to form the pineapple. When you see the hexagonal sections of the pineapple rind, look at each section, a botanically individual fruit, which merged to form the finished product. Hawaiian pineapple is ready to eat when harvested and it is rushed to market at optimum sweetness. Don't store pineapple expecting it to ripen like other fruit.
