A pineapple is a tropical fruit that has high vitamin C and some antioxidants. I bought in a fruit stall. It was not too cheap because the pineapple was produced by a big farm. However, the taste was sweet with little sour.
There are many kinds of pineapple that available in the market here. A pineapple from local farmer is usually cheaper and the size is smaller. Some local farmers that produce pineapple are from Subang. Subang is an area in the West Java.
I went to the market and looked for a fruit stall. I saw some fruits then I asked a pineapple "How much is it?". The seller replied "It is $1 a kilo". I asked for the discount but the seller said it was fixed price.
Then I bought a kilo of pineapple. I peeled the skin and cut it into some pieces. It was very sweet.

Besides that, a pineapple has manganese, copper and bromelain enzyme. Those substances have good benefits. A pineapple has high antioxidants.
It is important to consume different fruits everyday. Now, after my daughter recovers from typhoid fever, I give different fruits everyday to my family. I prefer to choose cheap and local fruits like mangoes, pineapples, papayas and bananas. Those fruits are available in the market and there are various types. The price is also various.
