I just returned from Brazil where the pineapples are delicious!… probably because I was tasting very fresh ones (the ones we get in Canada travel a long way before I eat them).
The Brazilians tell me however, that the ones they served me were pineapples and the ones we get in Canada are “ananas”. The ones in Brazil were slightly smaller than I was used to and had more shallow bumps on the outside skin.
Are they one and the same or are there two different “pineapples”. My theory is that the ones we get in Canada come from FLorida and are in fact a carefully bred variety - both for taste, acidity and for shipping.
Anyone know the answer? Are pineapples and ananas different?

i am specially interested in micropropagating pineapples. Should you come across extremely sweet pinyas, please let me know. Surely the Philippines will be in the limelight soon bcoz of a specially sweet pinya (Brix 25) and low acid(0.2) whose core is even edible, very crunchy and believe it or not tastes like non-pineapple but a medley of guava-yacon-dragonfruit when still mature green.When ripe, eat it along while sipping unsweetened tea and you can forego sugar.
Have been busy picturetaking all kinds of pinya all over the island and love wearing exotic n comfy jusi barong.
