Description
This beautiful baby pineapple comes out from the center of its host plant. It takes 24 months to grow one pineapple here in Hawaii, but it's worth the wait.
Don't pick or buy a under ripe pineapple thinking you can ripen it some more at home, like you can with bananas. Pineapple fruits stop the ripening process once they are picked and should only be picked once fully ripen.
The pineapple is a traditional American symbol of hospitality. Pineapples are still used on door knockers, door mats, mail boxes, and on house markers as a symbol of hospitality and are given as a symbol of welcome or friendship.

So beautiful! I had no idea about their tradition use in the States. Nothing like that over here - unfortunately. Happy New Year, James! May you never lack pineapples!
