The sweet and mellow tartness in pineapple contributes to making this crowned fruit a true queen of the Frescos! Although pineapple originated in the Paraná Basin in present-day Brazil and Paraguay, it had already spread as a crop throughout the continent before European contact. Its versatility has made it a key ingredient for many pre-Columbian dishes and beverages and it continues to to be a staple for juice stalls in Latin American mercados and beyond!!
