Pineapple Baby
Pineapple Baby are smaller than the common pineapple, standing only four to 5 inches tall. The fronds extending from the crown are only 2 inches longer and are sharp and covered in spikes. These mini pineapples have a fragrant golden orange skin and juicy, bright yellow flesh. They are sweeter and more aromatic than their larger counterparts.
Pineapple fruit contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain that digests food by breaking down protein. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and anti-cancer properties.

The individual fruit segments of a
pineapple interlock in two helices, 8 in one direction, 13 in the other, each
of which is a Fibonacci number.
·
Pineapples grow slowly and can
take up to two years to reach full size, so we pick and eat them when they are
much smaller, but if they are left to their own devices they can grow a lot
bigger. The world record is currently 8.28kg
