Pineapple seeds anyone? I brought a pineapple from the grocery store and when I was cutting it up I noticed these little dark specks so I looked a little closer and saw that it was seeds!!! I was'nt sure that pineapples had seeds but now I know. For those of you who are in search of pineapple seeds, when you buy your pineapple make sure it's good and ripe(a dark yellowish color) is what you're looking for, when you cut the outer skin off bend it back(pineapple side up) and look for little dark spots, you should see the seeds, they are actual seeds not specks(I will post picture). Now, does anyone know when to start seeds and how long it takes to get pineapple from seed?

There is a thread in here about pineapple and growing it from the leafy portion on top of the fruit. I believe it takes up to 2 years that way. I haven't seen anyone mention growing it from seed though..

Check out this site. It explains in detail how to grow a pineapple indoors.

I did a search for "pineapple seeds" and got some results..apparently you can grow them, but they are VERY slow to grow. Check out these discussions:
