Do Pineapples Have Seeds Anywhere Inside of Them?

Question

Pineapples are classified as fruits...So, do they actually have seeds anywhere inside of them? If so, where?
Just asking because I know that in order for something to be called a fruit in biology terms, it has to have seeds in it.

Answer 1

Although known for its fruit (yes, they have seeds), pineapples are usually propagated by new vegetative growth because it is difficult to germinate the seeds.

Answer 2

Does Pineapple Have Seeds

Answer 3

A pineapple is a conglomeration of berries around a central core.

The seeds are in the individual berries--those spiny things on the outside of the pineapple show you the individual berries. That's the skin, and the part you don't eat. The seeds are in there.

Edit: I grew a pineapple top one time. You just cut off the pineapple top with some of the pineapple attached, put it in a pot with some dirt, and voila! As a bromeliad, the top is easier to grow than the individual seeds.

Eventually, if conditions were right, you'd get a new pineapple atop the spiky leaves of the "top." Which would then be the "bottom."

Bromeliads are fun!

Answer 4

Commercially grown pineapple does not have seeds. Seeds have been breed out. Wild pineapple plants would have seeds. Seeds of the pineapple are found within each of the hard segments on the outside of the fruit. Each one of those segments was a flower.
