The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is known mainly for its edible fruit and its important nutritional, commercial and industrial potential. It can be consumed fresh, dried or processed into jams, drinks or vinegar. Citric acid is extracted from it and is used in the manufacture of certain pharmaceutical products, especially for bronchitis. We can also extract starch, organic acids, wax, sterols, etc. The chopped leaves and crowns can be integrated into the feed of livestock. The pineapple stem is used for its anti-inflammatory properties.
