Let’s Go Hawaiian—How to Cut a Pineapple
The pineapple—fierce on the outside, sweet on the inside—was given its English name for its resemblance to a pine cone. Anyone remember who Kai Barnes compared to a pineapple?
A sailor, Captain John Kidwell, is credited with founding Hawaii’s pineapple industry, importing and testing a number of varieties in the 1800s for commercial crop potential. But it wasn’t until James Drummond Dole arrived in the islands that the pineapple was transformed from an American symbol of friendship and exotic locales into an American household staple.
