The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.

The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.

Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

Falafel is the greatest food thing ever. In a wrap, dipped in stuff, just by itself, cheap, easy af, delicious. I used my work skills and kitchen scale to figure out the food cost for each falafel wrap I mske at home. It is like $1.50 per wrap. You gotta spend in bulk, but chicken pea flour, spices, veggies to pickle all last. For things that expire its hummus or garlic for the vegan garlic sauce I make using chickpea juice,the fresh veggies and the pita bread. There is a really big lebanese presence foodwise in my city that has been aroind long enough that there is a local pita bakery that does damn well and has a huge shelf of their misshapen or old ones outside the bakery every day, i could happily live off falafel and veggies in a pita for every meal I ever eat
