Organic Pineapple juice is manufactured from pineapples that originate from Brazil and Paraguay. Like other fruits, it has become popular in Europe by the late 18th century. There are around 100 varieties of pineapples. However, only a few are used for commercial purposes. In India, pineapples are predominantly grown in humid and high rainfall regions. States that grow pineapple on commercial scales include West Bengal, Kerala and Karnataka.
