Is all pineapple grown in Hawaii?

Asked by occ (2353 points) | asked February 22nd, 2008 | 3 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

Are there any regions in the continental U.S. that grow pineapple? Are there other places besides Hawaii where it’s grown? If I want to buy pineapple grown as close as possible to California (in order to reduce the pollution caused in transporting the food long distances) what is the closest pineapple-growing region to San Francisco?

Hawaii is probably the closest. For us in New Zealand, it’s Australia.

Central America would probally be the closest and freshest to you.
