Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical fruit beloved for its sweet, tangy taste and refreshing aroma. Naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and digestive enzymes like bromelain, pineapple is a powerhouse of nutrients that supports immunity, digestion, and overall wellness. At Farm Ayurveda, we bring you farm-fresh pineapples grown naturally in India, without synthetic additives—offering both flavor and health in every slice.
This juicy fruit is not only a delicious snack but also a great addition to juices, smoothies, salads, and even savory dishes. Its low-calorie, antioxidant-rich profile makes it ideal for those seeking healthy food options. From aiding digestion to promoting skin health, pineapple is a tasty way to nourish your body naturally.
The history of pineapple dates back to South America, particularly in regions that are now Brazil and Paraguay, where it was first domesticated. It spread globally through Portuguese and Spanish explorers in the 15th century. In India, pineapple cultivation thrives in the northeastern states like Assam and Tripura due to the ideal tropical climate. Once considered an exotic delicacy, it is now a beloved fruit found in homes and Ayurvedic traditions across the country.
