Definition

  1. 1
    (Ananas comosus) Planta de la familia de las bromeliáceas, nativa de América del Sur. Es una hierba perenne, de escaso porte y hojas duras y lanceoladas de hasta un metro de largo, que fructifica una vez cada tres años produciendo un único fruto fragante y dulce, muy apreciado en gastronomía. Es un cultivo claramente tropical pero muy versátil en cuanto a suelos; en volumen es el segundo fruto tropical en producción, sólo superado por la banana.
  2. 2
    Fruto de esta planta, un sincarpo o infrutescencia grande y de forma ovoide formado por la fusión de numerosas bayas. Su corazón, más fibroso, se forma a partir del tallo axial engrosado, y las paredes del ovario, la base de la bráctea y los sépalos se transforman en una pulpa amarilla, apenas fibrosa, dulce y ácida, muy fragante, que no guarda rastro de los frutos que la compusieron. La flor propiamente dicha se transforma en un escudete octogonal de cubierta dura, formada por la fusión del ápice de la bráctea y los tres sépalos, que formará la dura piel cerúlea y espinosa.
