The pineapple is a native fruit of South America, it is a tropical fruit that has a different appearance and its exterior is not smooth. However, its pulp is sweet and bitter being ideal to eat alone, in beverages, sauces in various dishes, jams or even desserts.

The pineapple, besides having a delicious flavor is a fruit that has many health benefits because it is diuretic, improves digestion, cleanses the skin, contains fiber and minerals like magnesium, iron, and potassium; also it contains antioxidants, among other vitamins.
