Colonial Williamsburg Christmas - Decorations - The Pineapple in Colonial Williamsburg The pineapple is native to South America and was likely imported to the Caribbean by native tribes, who brought the sweet fruit with them and transplanted it on several islands. Although we usually associate the pineapple with Hawaii, it is not native to those islands either, having been transplanted there from Jamaica by the British in 1886, a full 200 years after the fruit had been cultivated and consumed in Europe. The sweetness and unusual appearance of the pineapple and its association with fertility and agriculture made it a sought-after delicacy in colonial America. www.history.org /Almanack/life/Christmas/dec_pineapple.cfm   (1210 words)

WHFoods: Pineapple In fact, the pineapple, because of its rarity and expense, was such a status item in those times that all a party hostess had to do was to display the fruit as part of a decorative centerpiece, and she would be awarded more than just a modicum of social awe and recognition.

Pineapple is not a commonly allergenic food, is not known to contain measurable amounts of goitrogens, oxalates, or purines, and is also not included in the Environmental Working Group's 2006 report "Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce" as one of the 12 foods most frequently containing pesticide residues. www.whfoods.com /genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=34   (2804 words)

Social History of the Pineapple The presence of pineapples on Caribbean islands was not a natural event, but rather the result of centuries of indian migration and commerce. It was the pineapple that came to literally crown the most important feasts: often held aloft on special pedestals as the pinnacle of the table's central food mound. A hostesses's ability to have a pineapple for an important dining event said as much about her rank as it did about her resourcefulness, given that the street trade in available fresh pineapples could be as brisk as it was bitchy. www.levins.com /pineapple.html   (1210 words)

Home Fruit Production Pineapple is probably native to Brazil but was present throughout the American tropics when Columbus encountered the fruit on the island of Guadeloupe in 1493 on his second voyage. At the turn of the last century, Florida was the leading producer of pineapples until the industry was decimated by a presumed disease, which later was found to be mealybugs, at which time Hawaii became the leading producer.

Re: Could SpongeBob really live in a pineapple under the sea? I once made a starter for a summer lunch party, which consisted of mayonnaise, chicken, grapes, peanuts and pineapple, served as a cold dish in the empty half-pineapple shells. I'm inclined to think that if you took a pineapple, cut it in half, and sunk it, sponges would be among the "fouling" organisms to colonize it. Even so, if the pineapple is colonized by other animals first, say, mussels or tunicates, sponges could certainly grow on the secondary surfaces they provide. www.madsci.org /posts/archives/2004-12/1101931642.Bc.r.html   (580 words)

Pineapple can be found canned in its own juice or sugar syrup in ring slices, chunks or bits, as well as frozen or candied.
