The fruits of all types of pineapples look very similar to each other, but the weight they can range from 0.5 kg to 4 kg depending on the species.

Ripe pineapple spoils very quickly – it must be eaten a maximum of two days or stored in the refrigerator – where it will remain fresh for about a week.

A glass of freshly squeezed pineapple juice can relieve the discomfort of people who get motion sick in cars and planes, as well as on board ships.
