Pineapple in Thai Culture
Pineapples are one of the most popular fruits in Thai culture, along with watermelons and mangoes, that help give Thai cuisine the exotic flair that it is internationally known for. While there might be more traditional dishes that shy away from incorporating pineapple, the Thai culture has infused pineapple into dishes of all kinds, whether it involves fish, meat, or otherwise. Pineapples are also widely available year-round in the country, while other countries might not have as much access to it, thanks to the fact that the country produces so many. Some could argue that pineapples play a role in the Thai agricultural economy as a result.
There is even a proverb that refers to“eyes like a pineapple”. The idea here is that once one peels back a layer of pineapple, the spine is revealed, and looks somewhat like an “eye”. Pineapples then are representative of the “all-seeing”, and when a mother scolds her child and tells her that she has “many eyes like a pineapple”, one sees how cemented the pineapple is in Thai culture. Similarly, if someone is not observant, or cannot see something obvious, they have “peanut eyes”. This shouldn’t be taken lightly, as both peanuts and pineapples are staples in Thai cuisine.
You might be thinking that this all sounds fine and all, but how exactly do they incorporate pineapple into their food? Well, while you have undoubtedly heard of chicken fried rice, and shrimp fried rice, have you heard of pineapple fried rice? Thailand is famous for this rice dish, which also often also utilizes eggs, onions, garlic, peppers, and other ingredients. Thai also love their seafood, and the Thai shrimp and pineapple curry is also a popular curry from the region. Whether it’s a satay or a dessert, you can often find pineapple involved in foods that you might not expect, thanks to its abundance and status in Thai culture.

That isn’t all: there are health benefits with regards to the immune system and digestion, as well. Specifically, pineapples contain a tremendous amount of Vitamin C, which is great for the immune system in general. The fact that pineapples contain a lot of manganese is also great for bone support, as well. The fruit also contains bromelain, which can help with regards to blood clot reduction (although it obviously shouldn’t be used as a “cure”, by any means. Some also believe that bromelain can help with regards to mucus issues in the throat and nose, as well.
