# pineapple

noun (a pineapple, pineapples; pineapple, uncountable as food)

«pineapple» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

A pineapple is a large tropical fruit with a rough, spiky brown skin, sweet juicy yellow flesh and a crown of stiff green leaves on top. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/P/pineapple/#m1)

### In the lessons

In science and geography, pineapples grow on low plants in hot countries (not on trees and not on pines); each fruit is made of many small fruits joined together. In everyday life, people eat pineapple fresh, in juice, in tins and on pizza.
