Pineapples:The Strange Fruit in a Glance
It is helpful before burying ourselves in the viral fact to know how pineapples pollinate. Pineapples unlike most of the fruits which grow on trees or vines grow out of the middle of a spiky bush in the ground. They are technically berries that gotten mixed up into each other around some central core. Indeed, a pineapple is not a single fruit, but the bunch of berries and each of them is known as an eye. The eyes fuse and finally leave the hard diamond texture that is familiar to us.
Pineapples originated in South America, hence Brazil and Paraguay, before the 15th century Christopher Columbus introduced them into Europe. Nowadays they are cultivated in tropic areas such as the Philippines, Thailand and Costa Rica. You see, most people did not notice the bizarre thing that they are actually capable of doing, though it was there already centuries ago.
The Internet Making: You Can pull a Pineapple to Pieces with your Hands
This is the information that busted the Internet: you can tear a ripe pineapple by finger – no cutting knife is required.
The TikTok followers and YouTubers debuted a first wave of videos in which they took hold of the spiky bits of the pineapple or the so-called eyes or segments and refused to remove them very lightly. It succeeded– here on another segment followed another, the pineapple granulated into juicy parts in bite-sized bits.
Human beings were aghast. There were those who became amazed and others almost angry because they could not have known this before. People immediately started making it a viral challenge, trying it at their own pineapples and posting the result which is satisfying.
Why This Works: The Science of It
How then can this happen? The solution is in the form of the fruit. As stated above one of the parts of a pineapple consists of several separate fruits (the eyes) stitched together. These eyes are wound in spirals around the centre and are attached loosely i.e. the attachments are not super powerful as in the case of an apple or mango.
As a pineapple ripens in full perfection, these pieces naturally loosen their hold upon each other. and you will find that by twisting or tugging at the bottom of one of these eyes you can detach it quite easily from the core of the fruit. The result? A convenient, clean method of working at a pineapple bit-by-bit.
Naturally, it does not do with all pineapples, only with those which are thoroughly ripe, and not too firm. When your pineapple is not fully ripe the segments maybe attached or agglomerated tightly and tearing it apart will only cause you frustration instead of having fun.
