Pineapples (piňa, Ananas comosus) belong to the bromeliad family, which all originate from Central and South America, and pineapples specifically are thought to have originated from what is now present-day Brazil and Paraguay. It was Christopher Columbus who brought it back to Europe and popularized it, and became a status symbol among the tables of the rich and famous. Apparently, the closest they could allude it to then are pine cones.
