June 27 - National Pineapple Day

Happy National Pineapple Day! Today is celebrated annually On June 27 every year in observance of this tropical fruit.  

For ages, the pineapple had correlated with getaway vacations and hot summer days. 

It only fits that a large culture of people would come to love the delicious tropical fruit and want to celebrate its origin with a national holiday.  

It was on April 20, 2016 when National Pineapple Day was first celebrated. 

The word "pineapple" in English was first registered in 1398 when it was originally used to define the reproductive organs of conifer trees which are now termed as pine cones.  

When European scientists discovered this tropical fruit, they called them "pineapples", a term first recorded in that sense in 1664 because of their coincidence to what is now known as the pine cone.  

First posted in 1694, the term "pine cone" and was used to replace the original meaning of pineapple.  

These types of fruits are useful in so many things, stand-alone on their own and also it is used to create an appetizing fruit beverage full of vitamin C.  

If you’re the person who likes a juicy tropical refreshment to cool you down on a hot day, then the Pineapple is half of the entire solution, the piña colada. 

FUN FACT: 

There are more than thirty-seven different kinds of pineapples grown across the world, each with its own unique set of characteristics. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Enjoy today by tasting this sweet fruit with your friends and family. You can have it in several ways, including freshly cut, eaten in wedges, crushed of grilled.  

You can also use to make an American favorite, the pineapple, that’s a juicy and flavorful upside-down pineapple cake.  

This makes you warm with slices of pineapple laid in the bottom of a pan along with a special sugary mixture that becomes the perfect topping when baked, then you turn the cake upside-down out of the pan into a plate and voila!  

Be sure to add rum flavoring to your cake and place Maraschino cherries in the middle of the pineapple slices on top.
