Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with edible fruit and the most economically important plant in the family Bromeliaceae. Pineapples are native to South America, and have been cultivated there for centuries. The introduction of the pineapple to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapples have been grown commercially in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. In addition, pineapple is the third most important tropical fruit in world production. In the 20th century, Hawaii was the dominant pineapple producer, especially for the US however, in 2016, Costa Rica, Brazil and the Philippines accounted for nearly a third of the world's pineapple production.
