Pineapples may be cultivated from a crown cutting of the fruit,〔〔 possibly flowering in 20–24 months and fruiting in the following six months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= How to grow a pineapple in your home )〕 Pineapple does not ripen significantly post-harvest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dole.com/EatRightLanding/EatRtProductIndex/Fruits/Fresh/FreshFruitsdetails/tabid/529/Default.aspx?contentid=1354 )〕 Pineapples can be consumed fresh, cooked, juiced, or preserved. They are found in a wide array of cuisines. In addition to consumption, the pineapple leaves are used to produce the textile fiber piña in the Philippines, commonly used as the material for the men's Barong Tagalog and women's Baro't saya formal wear in the country. The fiber is also used as a component for wallpaper and other furnishings.〔"piña cloth". Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. The Free Dictionary. Retrieved on 2014-11-06 from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pi%C3%B1a+cloth.〕 ==Etymology== The word "pineapple" in English was first recorded to describe the reproductive organs of conifer trees (now termed pine cones). When European explorers discovered this tropical fruit in the Americas, they called them "pineapples" (first referenced in 1664 for resemblance to the pine cone). In the scientific binomial ''Ananas comosus'', ''ananas'', the original name of the fruit, comes from the Tupi word ''nanas'', meaning "excellent fruit",〔Davidson A. (2008) The Penguin Companion to Food. Penguin Books.〕 as recorded by André Thevet in 1555, and ''comosus'', "tufted", refers to the stem of the fruit. Other members of the ''Ananas'' genus are often called "pine", as well, in other languages. In Spanish, pineapples are called ''piña'' ("pine cone"), or ''ananá'' (''ananás'') (for example, the ''piña colada'' drink). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pineapple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
