Pineapple Still Life

Hawaii produces about a third of all pineapples in the world. Pineapples are a cluster of hundreds of fruitlets. Pineapples take about 18-20 months to become ready to harvest. Pineapples ripen faster upside down. The pineapple is a familiar symbol of hospitality; a popular myth links the origin of this connection with Colonial America, when sailors would return from voyages to the Caribbean Islands with pineapples. Allegedly they would display a fresh pineapple outside of their house as a signal that the sailor was home and ready to welcome visitors. Many cakes and desserts use pineapple as an ingredient.
