Produced in tropical areas, China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan, Fujian, Taiwan and other places are produced.

2, the fruit of this plant. Also called pineapple.

Pineapple contains almost all the vitamins needed by the human body, but also contains up to 16 kinds of natural minerals, with the effect of quenching fatigue, digestion, quenching thirst, sobering up and so on.

When buying a pineapple, you can select it from details such as the skin, shape, and cut flesh tissue. You can also gently press the pineapple with your hand. Hard and inelastic pineapples are raw pineapples; firm and soft pineapples are well-matured pineapples; over-sunken or even concave pineapples are over-matured pineapples. If juice spills out, the fruit is spoiled and should not be eaten.

It is important to note that pineapple has a protease enzyme that can easily cause allergies. Therefore, it is best to soak the pineapple in lightly salted water for half an hour before eating it. It should be noted that if the soaking time is too long, it will cause too much loss of nutrients and also affect the taste of the pineapple.
