Ever walked along a sunlit strand feeding a tropical dance a pineapple morsel? If yes, then you likely chomped your way through the uniquely fleshy fruits of a pineapple.
Introduction to Pineapples
The pineapple is a large juicy sweet tart whose homeland is the tropical heart.
The Origin of Pineapples
(For example, the pineapple originated in South America and probably spread across that continent through the action of aboriginal people inhabiting southern Brazil and Paraguay; it only moved far and wide through the actions of European explorers.)

How is it Made?
This is called freeze drying, where the pineapple is frozen and then the water removed under a vacuum, so the nutrients stay. It also adds crunch.

It’s longer-lasting, more portable, and offers a different textural experience: go for a pineapple chip on a hike, or on the couch with your favourite TV show!
Pairing Pineapple in Snacks With Other Fruits
Toss coconut flakes and chocolate chips with freeze dried pineapple in between – made with strawberries and mangoes. That way you’ll get a healthy dose of vitamins C, A, E, the B-complex vitamins and folic acid.
Salty Companions
You don’t know what pineapple is until you get a few grains of salt on it, or a little chilli on the palate. You don’t know what it is. It’s an orchestra of taste.
Storing Pineapple Snacks
Keep them cold and dry. If they came like that, keep them in an airtight container (otherwise they will lose that crunch)
Making Your Own Pineapple Snacks at Home
No special equipment is necessary; chop the pineapple into pieces, place them on a tray to dry under the sun or in a low-heat oven, and that’s it: pineapple augmento!
Conclusion
It is the shock of spike, crown and orange bulb, that percussive tang on the tongue and disconcertingly addictive crunch – as if my tooth was trying to chew a penny – that has few equivalents in the fruit firmament. Dried and salted and bottled and brined, I can generally go with the flow, but freeze-dried pineapples? In this case, natural clearly has the edge.
