Recipe Introduction
"P" Is For PINEAPPLE
History / Geography
There is evidence to support that pineapples were consumed in pre-Inca times, thus indicating that pineapples are native to Central and South America.
In 1535, pineapples were brought to Spain by way of the Spanish explorers that went to America. By the 17th century, pineapples were considered to be a food of the aristocrats of the general French public. Even Louis XIV had hothouses producing pineapples!
Puerto Rico began shipping pineapples to the United States in 1860 to begin growing them in Florida. This led to pineapples being canned in the 1880's.
By 1939, a machine called a ginaca could process 50 pineapples a day for canning purposes.
Today, Hawaii is the world's top producers of this delectable fruit!
