What am I?My name can be traced back to the 1493, when I was discovered in the islands south of Florida by famous Spanish explorers. I grow best in tropical and warm climates, like Costa Rica, Brazil, and Hawaii. Where I growYou might be surprised to know I grow out of the ground from a plant that has long spikey leaves. In the center, you'll find my fruit. When I'm starting to grow, multiple berries fuse together to make the fruit you'll eat. I don't grow from a seed. Instead, the top of the fruit is cut off and put back into the ground. After I'm pickedIt can take about 3 years until my plant fully grows my fruit and I'm ready to pick. I don't ripen after I'm picked, so you should eat me right away! If you are saving me for a special occasion, set me in the fridge until you're ready to eat.Then cut off the scales on my skin and the hard core of my fruit. Did you guess...
