Pineapple
Pineapple is a tropical fruit known for its distinctive sweet and tangy flavor profile, which is both juicy and aromatic. Originating in South America, it is now cultivated in many tropical regions around the world, including Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Hawaii. The flesh of the pineapple is firm yet tender, with a texture that is succulent and fibrous. When cooked, pineapple's natural sugars caramelize, enhancing its sweetness and creating a delightful aroma. Its acidity also makes it a useful ingredient for tenderizing meats. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can break down proteins, which is why it is often used in marinades and can interfere with gelatin setting if not properly heated.
Celery
Celery is a crunchy, mildly flavored vegetable with long, fibrous stalks. It is commonly used in cooking for its subtle taste and satisfying texture.
