Natives of Southern Brazil and Paraguay spread pineapple across south America,and it eventually reached Caribbean,south America and Mexico,where it was cultivated by Mayas and Aztecs(Greatest ancients civilisations)"Pineapple"is a tropical fruit that has yellow flesh and a prickly peel that has a diamond shape pattern to it.
