** Always the symbol of hospitality, the beautiful pineapple was once a rare fruit. So rare in fact, it was called the fruit of kings
** Pineapples are the berry to a perennial herb, borne on a stem that emerges from a cluster of leaves just above the ground. It takes 18 to 22 months for a pineapple plant to produce a single 4 to 5 pound fruit. About a year later, the plant will produce a second fruit, smaller than the first
** The fibres of the pineapple leaf can be extracted to produce the pina textile
**The World War II Mark 2 hand grenade was commonly known as the pineapple because of the grooves cut into its surface. Writer Ian Fleming employed pineapple as a slang term for a grenade in his James Bond novels
