Pineapples do have seeds.

The seeds in the pineapple are located and can be found just underneath the skin of the pineapple fruit, and the seeds of the pineapple are usually black or dark brown in color the little specks.

Pineapples have black or dark brown seeds spread on the inside part of the fruit.

However, pineapples are self-incompatible, meaning that they prevent self-fertilization to encourage out crossing.

This explains the occasional production of seeds in pineapples

Pineapples do occasionally produce true tiny black seed just below the peel of the fruit which can be found when the fruit is peeled but, in general, pineapples are highly self-incompatible (a general name for several genetic mechanisms in angiosperms, which prevent self-fertilization and thus encourage outcrossing.

The pineapple is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.

The pineapple is indigenous to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries.

Pineapples are rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, two antioxidants that protect your cells from free radicals that can cause chronic disease.

More studies are needed, but bromelain has also been linked to reduced risk of cancer.

Pineapple possesses fluids and water that help create a smooth passage for stool to pass through.

The fruit also contains an enzyme called bromelain, which improves bowel function and controls regularity.

Eating a few slices of fresh pineapple a day can defend your body from harmful free radicals and disease, help your digestion by cleaning the body's organs and blood, increase your energy intake and boost metabolism, nourish your hair, skin, nails and teeth and keep you generally healthy – plus it tastes great!

Those taking antibiotics, anticoagulants, blood thinners, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, insomnia drugs and tricyclic antidepressants should be careful not to eat too much pineapple.
