From their lush green fields to your table, the journey of a pineapple is pretty amazing, and we're here to break it down for you.
Pineapples don't grow on trees, as some might think-they grow right from the ground! 🌱 These tropical fruits come from a low, bushy plant that takes about 18 to 24 months to produce just one pineapple. 🌞 Found in warm climates, pineapple farms thrive in countries like Costa Rica, the Philippines, Thailand, and Hawaii. The plants love the sun and need well-drained soil to produce their sweet, tangy fruit. 🍍
But did you know that pineapples were once a rare luxury? 👑 In the past, they were so prized that people used to rent them just to show off at parties! Today, though, they’re a delicious, everyday treat that’s enjoyed around the world. So, next time you bite into a slice of pineapple, you’ll know exactly where it came from and the tropical journey it took to get to you! 🌺✈️ #Pineapples #Fruits #TropicalFruit
