But what if I told you that PINEAPPLE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A SWEET AND TASTY LIE?!

Sve što smo znali o velikom, sočnom, tropskom, šiljatom i bodljikavom, no jako ukusnom ananasu je laž. Jedna slatka i ukusna laž?

LOOK! Here's a field of 'em just growing in the weirdest way possible. Nope, not on trees, and not in the ground, but on strange flowering plants.

Za početak, jeste li znali da ananas raste na ovim čudnim biljnim stvarčicama?

First of all, did you know that 'napples grow on these weird stalky plant thingies?

POGLEDAJTE! Fotografija prikazuje polje ananasa, ne na stablima, ne na tlu, nego na čudnim cvjetnicama.

No, to nije još ni najluđa stvar. Ispostavilo se da je ananas zapravo višestruko voće. Ananas je ZAPRAVO sastavljen od hrpe BOBICA!

But that's not even the craziest thing. It turns out that pineapples are actually what's called a multiple fruit. A pineapple is ACTUALLY made up of a bunch of BERRIES fused together.

Po sljedećem dijagramu možete vidjeti da ananas ima centralnu os oko koje se nalazi grozd koji formira oblik cvijeta. Biljni ovariji zatim prerastaju u bobice, koje zatim tvore OBLIK ANANASA.

AHHHHHH! A PINEAPPLE IS MADE UP OF BERRIES.

Zašto onda nazivamo ovog ukusnog lažljivog lašca ananasom (pineapple)? Možda zato što izgleda kao mala šišarka (pinecone) dok klija.

Per this helpful diagram, you can see that pineapples have a central axis around which a cluster of fruiting flowers form. The plant's ovaries grow into berries which then form the SHAPE OF PINEAPPLE.

Kada sljedeći put budete pili piñu coladu, uzmite u obzir navedene stavke.

So why the HEEEECK do we call this lying liar of a delicious fruit a pineapple? Because it looks kind of like a lil' pinecone when it's sprouting.
