Pineapple, this tropical fruit often gives a refreshing taste and sweet taste. However, you know what? A pineapple is not actually a complete fruit, but is made up of many small fruits.

When we go to the market or supermarket to buy pineapples, we usually see a rough-looking, conical-shaped whole. Its surface is covered with hard scales, giving it a wild feel. However, this is only the appearance of the pineapple, and the real surprise lies in its internal structure.

Cut open a pineapple and you'll see a layer of yellow or white flesh, which is what we usually think of as a pineapple fruit. The flesh layer is very juicy and tender in texture, with a rich aroma and sweetness.

If you look closely at the pineapple pulp layer, you will see that there are many small pits, which are called the "eyes" of the pineapple. Each "eye" represents the location of a small fruit.

Around each "eye" is a growing point of small fruits. These small fruits resemble berries, each wrapped in a separate shell.

The small fruits of pineapples are oval in shape and have a hard shell, usually green or yellowish in color. When the pineapple is ripe, the small fruits will gradually fuse together to form the entire layer of pineapple pulp.

The pineapple plant undergoes a flowering process and has a tall inflorescence with the tip of the inflorescence being the point where the pineapple fruit grows.

Pineapples are self-pollinating, pollinated by wind, insects, or by hand so that the pollen reaches the tip of the inflorescence so that the fruit can develop.

Starting with pollination, each small fruit begins to grow and gradually merges with the surrounding small fruits to form a monolithic pineapple.

Pineapples will give off a rich aroma when ripe, and this is the best time to taste them. Peel off the outer crust of the pineapple and the corolla on top, then slice or dice, and enjoy.

Pineapple is a delicious fruit with a wonderful internal structure. A pineapple is not a single fruit, but is made up of many small fruits. Understanding the structure of pineapple will allow you to appreciate its deliciousness and uniqueness on a deeper level.
