Did You Know: Pineapples have indeed for a long time been a symbol of Hawaii but they are not native to the Hawaiian islands. Pineapples can be traced back to their origin in South America, and are linked together with Hawaiʻi because of the large pineapple industry that was build on Hawaii in the early 1900s.
