Some sources say that the plant will flower after about 24 months and produce a fruit during the following six months, while others indicate a 20-month timetable.[4]

Pineapple can be consumed fresh, canned or juiced and can be used in a variety of ways. It is popularly used in hummus, salads (usually tropical fruit salads, but it can vary), jams, yogurts, ice creams, various candies, as a complement to meat dishes and in yogurt. The popularity of the pineapple is due to its sweet-sour taste. The core of the pineapple is continuous with the stem supporting the fruit and with the crown, a feature unique among cultivated fruits.
