Pineapples, originally from Abya Yala were cultivated by the Mayas and the Aztecs. Pineapples were employed in healing and purification rituals. After Columbus, the fruit becomes an imperial symbol of opulence of other worlds. Today, genetically modified pineapples have been commodified in size, shape, color and taste for sell. And what is the future of the pineapple?
