Pineapple is one tropical plant that reaches 5-8 feet high and spreads about 3-4 feet radius, leaves pointed needles, and the skin of the fruit is rough and slightly sharp. Scientifically, this fruit is known by the name Ananas Comosus and belongs to the family Bromeliaceae, in the genus Ananas. The benefits of pineapple are very diverse, and have been widely researched by experts.
The fruit originally came from the local indigenous Paraguayan population of South America, then brought to Spain when Columbus discovered the continent of America in 1493. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it spread throughout the world by European sailors who took it with them to protect themselves from scurvy disease, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.
