Pineapple is also named as ¡°phoenix pear¡±. It is one of the main fruits in Nanning. It contains much energetic sugar, such mineral substances needed for the body as calcium, iron and potassium, multivitamins, and even a type of digestive element similar to gastric juice, facilitating the decomposition of protein and digestion.
In 1952, two low-knotted varieties of pineapples were introduced into Nanning. They are ¡°Hawaii¡± and ¡°Shalaoyue¡± and they are known as ¡°knotless pineapples¡±. Canned pineapples are one of the main export products in Nanning.
