Though western history claims the pineapple was bought to india in the 15th century, there are historians that refute the claim and point to texts saying that it was bought to india during the rule of the Maurya kings.
Whatever the history, pineapples are delicious and there is no arguing there. Pineapples are tropical seasonal fruits whose goodness we’d love to enjoy through the year. A ‘pineapple chutney’ is appreciated in summer, winter, monsoon and spring. Dried candied pineapples make that possible.
