Where do we get pineapples?
Nearly all of our fresh fruit and vegetables are purchased from the same specialist distributor, whom Lush UK has been working with since 2005. Depending on the time of year, they source products from different countries to try and have availability all year round. They work hard to supply as many organic products as possible and provide the highest quality available the rest of the time.

For D�sseldorf: The majority of our fresh fruit and vegetables are sourced directly from a select group of producers and through two long-standing distributors, with whom Lush Germany has collaborated since 2016. While we prioritize establishing direct relationships with producers whenever possible, the unique nature of our goods and specific requirements lead us to work with these distributors, ensuring a consistent and high-quality supply. Depending on the season, our distributors source products from various countries, ensuring year-round availability. When available, we always purchase organic fresh fruits and vegetables and make sure to source the highest quality the rest of the time.

With seven manufacturing sites across the globe, this information may vary depending on where your Lush products were made.

What are the benefits of fresh pineapple?
Pineapple enzymes, called bromelain, help to refresh the skin and scalp by literally eating the dead skin cells lingering on the skin�s surface. It is so powerful that it can help to treat calluses and minimise scars.
The fruit�s acids (citric, malic and tartaric) complete bromelain�s natural exfoliation and make the hair shine.
Lesser known, the anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain can reduce swelling and bruising.

How do pineapple grow?
Native to Brazil and Paraguay, the pineapple thrives in tropical climates and has been used in both folk and modern medicine. We are all more or less familiar with the fruit, but a little less familiar with the plant on which they grow. Each plant looks like a throne of long green leaves on which presides a unique and proud fruit. When looking closely, the plant actually looks like a bigger version of the spiky tuft that crowns the fruit and this is quite normal... because it is! To grow a pineapple, you just have to plant the tuft and wait for it to grow and blossom.
