Pineapples originally grew in South America. The pineapple plant was spread over tropical areas by the Spanish and Portuguese, and it was also taken back to Europe to be grown there. Europeans developed pineapple plantations, improved the plant, and brought it to Hawaii and Australia. Today, China produces the most pineapples in the world.

Pineapples can be grown by placing the top green of the fruit into soil.
