The term "abacaxi" refers to the tropical fruit known as pineapple in English. It is characterized by its sweet and tangy flavor, with a rough, spiky exterior and juicy, yellow flesh. Abacaxi is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and contains bromelain, an enzyme that may aid digestion. This fruit is native to South America and is widely cultivated in various tropical regions around the world. In addition to being enjoyed fresh, abacaxi is often used in cooking, beverages, and desserts. It is also a key ingredient in dishes from cuisines such as Brazilian and Hawaiian.
