🍍 Did You Know Pineapple Is Actually a Grass? 🌿

[MysteRy]

Yes, you read that right — the pineapple isn't a tree fruit at all. It’s a tropical herbaceous plant, which means… it’s technically a grass!

Native to the tropical regions of South and Central America, pineapple now also thrives in Africa, Asia, and across the tropics. But here’s what makes this sweet fruit even more fascinating:

🔸 A pineapple plant produces only one fruit in its entire lifetime. After that — it dies.
🔸 Each fruit grows from a single stem, and it takes around 3 years to fully mature.
🔸 So next time you enjoy a pineapple, know it’s the result of years of growth — and the plant gave everything for it.
