Pineapple rings are circular slices obtained from the pineapple, a tropical fruit known for its sweet and slightly acidic flavor. They are generally prepared by cutting the pineapple into cross-sections that retain the central core, giving them their characteristic ring shape.
The pineapple is native to South America, specifically the region now occupied by Brazil and Paraguay, and was spread throughout the Caribbean and Central America before reaching other parts of the world. Today, pineapple is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions globally.
In cooking, pineapple rings are very versatile. They can be consumed fresh, in juices and smoothies, or in preparations such as desserts, salads, and main dishes, both sweet and savory. They are also common in barbecue recipes and as a garnish for various preparations.
Regarding their properties, pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber. Furthermore, it contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of proteins and has anti-inflammatory properties.
In the Hispanic American world, pineapple rings may also be called pineapple slices, pineapple rings, or simply sliced pineapple, depending on the country.
