These guys should have the answers you need. It's fun to visit too, and they've got pineapple ice cream there for you to try. It's really good.
The pineapple is technically not a single fruit, but a sorosis. The fruits of a hundred or more separate flowers grow on the plant spike. As they grow, they swell with juice and pulp, expanding to become the "fruit." Pineapples do not grow on trees, as many erroneously think. They are the fruit of a bromeliad, rising from the center on a single spike surrounded by sword-like leaves. The pineapple plant is the only bromeliad to produce edible fruit. Commercial plants are only harvested two to three years since the fruit begins to get smaller with each year of plant life. Pineapples weigh between four and nine pounds on average but can reach weights up to twenty pounds. The waste parts left from canning plants, including the skin, core and ends, are used to make alcohol, vinegar and food for livestock
