'When life gives you lemons, sell them and buy a pineapple' Davin Turney

Pineapples are one of the most perfect examples in nature of the mathematical phenomenon known as the Divine Proportion.


This pineapple might be disco, but what it should really be listening to is Scott Joplin's Pineapple Rag. Click here to listen to it!


Love these. Check out this delicious recipe for a Pineapple Caipirinha here



Pineapples look great as decoration and are the symbol of hospitality. In fact, pineapples were once so valuable that they were actually rented out to homeowners, before being sold to more affluent clients who could actually afford to eat them!


 Pineapples make a great theme for a dinner. In Brazil, rotisserie pineapple is popular. Check out this recipe here



Pineapples have also provided inspiration for architecture, as with this fountain in South Carolina.

As Francesca Beauman says in her book 'The Pineapple : King of Fruits, all about the pineapple, "The pineapple has become a kind of shorthand: Paradise this way!"
