Tropical Delight: The Pineapple
Prepare to be astounded – pineapples don’t sprout from trees. Instead, they originate from enormous ground-bushes! These bushes sport a spiky exterior, mirroring the tops of pineapples themselves. Yet, despite their similar appearance, their taste is far from the sweet delight of a ripe pineapple.
Thriving in the tropical climates of West Africa and Latin America, pineapples require warmth to bloom. The process of cultivating them is as intriguing as their exotic appearance. All you need is the crown of a pineapple to kickstart the growth of a new one. However, patience is key in this endeavor, as it can take several years before these tropical gems start yielding fruit.
