Pineapple Dried Sliced

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical fruit known for its juicy, sweet-tart flavor and vibrant golden flesh. Pineapples are rich in vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion. They are used fresh, juiced, or cooked in both sweet and savory dishes. Common varieties include Smooth Cayenne, Queen, and Red Spanish. Smooth Cayenne is the most widely cultivated, with a high sugar content and juicy texture, ideal for fresh eating and juicing. Queen pineapples are smaller and sweeter, making them perfect for desserts. Red Spanish pineapples have a more fibrous texture and are often used for canning and cooking.
