The pineapple was originally from Brazil (though there are different varieties from elsewhere). The pineapple was spread by natives around South America and eventually to the Caribbean and the Indies – which is where the famous Christopher Columbus discovered it in 1493 and brought it home to Europe.
The pineapple did not make it to England until the late 1600s, and it became a HIT in the 1700s. Pineapples were also very expensive and was seen as a status symbol by many.
