Pineapples have the shape of a pinecone, and can reach up to 30 centimeters in
length. They have a rough, waxy, hexagonal-patterned rind that is covered in small,
soft spikes and topped with a compact grouping of narrow, green, pointed-tipped
leaves that extend upright. The rind can range in color from green to yellow or
reddish-orange when ripe. The flesh varies in shades of white or yellow, depending
on the variety, and modern cultivated varieties are known to be seedless. The
loosely fibrous and juicy flesh offers a sweet flavor with mild acidity, while the
edible core is firmer, more leathery, and less sweet. It is a slightly laxative
fruit and it regularizes the intestinal functions. This fruit activates the
pancreatic function. It is rich in manganese, which is hardly found in the rest of
fruit
