Pineapple

The pineapple, whether in real or simulated form, is presented to winners of the Order of the Pineapple. In real form (Ananas comosus), it is a tropical plant with an edible fruit, also called a pineapple, and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.

Pineapples may be cultivated from the offset produced at the top of the fruit, possibly flowering in five to ten months and fruiting in the following six months. Pineapples do not ripen significantly after harvest. In 2016, Costa Rica, Brazil, and the Philippines accounted for nearly one-third of the world's production of pineapples.
