The exact evolution of pineapple as a popular global fruit is still unknown; however, it is believed that pineapple was first brought to Europe following Christopher Columbusâs return in 1493. The fruiting season of pineapple runs from March until June, and each tree can produce a number of fruits. It is eaten fresh, juiced, cooked, or preserved, and its leaves are even used as wallpaper and ceiling insulation.
Shell color is not necessarily a sign of maturity or ripeness. A pineapple can be ripe when it is practically all green outside. The plantation calls it âgreen-shell ripe.â Shell color of ripe fruit are divided into seven groups or levels ranging from No. 0, all green, to No. 6, all yellow. A pineapple will not ripen any further â get any sweeter â after picking. It is sugar that makes pineapple sweet after ripe. The sugar comes from the conversion of starch reserves in the stump at the time of ripening. Fresh pineapples from Hawaii are picked at maximum ripeness for delivery to U.S. markets.
