Dried Pineapple Slices (Ananas comosus) — Sweet Fruit Tea & Cold-Brew Ingredient

Dried Pineapple Slices (Ananas comosus) are the sun-golden, gently dried fruit pieces of the tropical pineapple, known in Chinese as Bōluó (菠萝) or Fènglí (凤梨). Prized for its bright sweetness and tangy aroma, pineapple has long been enjoyed as a food-herb (药食同源) ingredient in Chinese wellness culture, where it is valued for its sweet, slightly cool nature and its traditional role in supporting digestion and refreshing the body. Each slice is dried to preserve its golden color and concentrated tropical flavor, making it a versatile addition to teas, cold brews, and daily fruit infusions.
