Last month a friend from Guangdong asked me, "Pineapples are on the market, do you want to eat them?"
I was stunned for a while, then Come to think of it, the "ground pineapple" my friend was referring to was the kind of pineapple commonly found in supermarkets and fruit stands across the country.
Yes, we usually call it "pineapple". It is rare to add the word "地" specifically to distinguish it.
Pineapple, also known as "pineapple" in some areas.

Compared to a kind of "pineapple" that grows on trees, the name "ground pineapple" came into being.
Yes, pineapples that grow on the ground are called ground pineapples. Pineapples that grow on trees are called jackfruit.

As a person who grew up in the Central Plains, I have never seen a pineapple tree before.
Therefore, there has always been a misunderstanding in the impression. That is to say, pineapples, like apples and pears, grow on trees.
It wasn’t until I saw the picture of pineapple later that I realized how wrong my previous understanding was.

Later, when I saw the huge jackfruit and the tall jackfruit tree, I finally understood the difference between "ground pineapple" and "tree pineapple".
So, remember it in the future.
Pineapple refers to the pineapple commonly found in fruit stalls, and the skin needs to be peeled off. Every day in spring, there will be many fruit stalls that peel off the skin, cut it, and soak it in salt water for sale.
As for tree pineapple, it refers to jackfruit.
Tropical fruits are now also very common in the north and the Central Plains. If you smell a honey scent while shopping, there may be a stall selling jackfruit nearby.
