A pineapple is a multiple berry (a type of multiple fruit), formed by many individual berries fused together around a central core.

Quick Scoop

• Botanically, pineapple is a multiple fruit made of many fused berries.

• Each “eye” on the pineapple skin comes from a separate flower that turned into a tiny berry.

• All those berries grow together into the single chunky fruit we call a pineapple.

So in simple terms: pineapple isn’t just one fruit on the inside – it’s a whole cluster of berries merged into one.
