Description

Frozen pineapple chunks are pieces of fresh pineapple that have been previously cut and subjected to a freezing process to preserve their flavor and texture. This ingredient is ideal for adding a sweet, tropical touch to various recipes, from smoothies, desserts, and salads to savory dishes like sauces and side dishes.

Pineapple originated in tropical America, specifically in the region that now comprises Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. It was spread by explorers and conquistadors to other parts of the world, becoming a highly prized exotic fruit.

Among its main properties, pineapple is rich in vitamin C, fiber, and bromelain, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of proteins and has anti-inflammatory effects. When frozen, it retains most of its nutrients and facilitates storage and year-round use.

Regarding synonyms in Latin American Spanish, frozen pineapple can also be found under the names ananá congelado (very common in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay), piña en trozos congelada, or simply piña congelada.
