Pineapple – piña
The pineapple takes it name from the resemblance it bears to the pine cone of temperate regions. Although it is associated with Hawaii since they grow a lot of the fruit in the market, it is a native of the West Indies and Central America, although it is now grown in tropical countries around the world. Ornamental pineapples are often grown and house-plants. They are related to bromeliads and air plants.
We have several varieties of pineapples in the Dominican Republic. The supermarkets here only carry one type.
