VERY EXPENSIVE PINEAPPLES
In the American colonies in the 1700’s, pineapples were no less revered. Imported from the Caribbean islands, pineapples that arrived in America were very expensive – one pineapple could cost as much as $8000 (in today’s dollars).
This high cost was due to the perishability, novelty, exoticism, and scarcity of the fruit.

I never knew that. Next time I eat pineapple I’ll do it reverently. 🙏🍍
