Pineapple. Ananas comosus. Some things you may not know about the pineapple:
- the natural pollinator of the pineapple is the hummingbird
- pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which breaks down protein which is why pineapple juice can be used as a marinade and meat tenderizer
- SE Asia is the worlds largest producer of pineapple with Thailand growing 1.9 million tons
- the pineapple is native to Brazil and Paraguay
Tonight I took a few shots of an uncut pineapple but I didn’t like the way that they came out so I put some cut pineapple in this crystal glass and topped it with the top of a pineapple. Camera settings are below.

Great photo Matt! Very creative! And there’s nothing quite like fresh pineapple!
