Question
What is the blessing for pineapple? Does pineapple require kashrut? Can I buy pineapple from a farmer in the south whose kashrut status I do not know?
Answer
Hello,
Pineapple grows on a bush, and its blessing is "Borei Pri Ha'adama."
Since pineapple is not a tree, it is not subject to the laws of Orlah. It can be purchased without kashrut certification, and tithes should be separated.
