Ananas macrodontes is a plant species closely related to the pineapple, in the family Bromeliaceae.

[4] Its common name is the false pineapple,[5] a name shared with the not closely related Pandanus kaida.

[4][3] It is native to central South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, northern Argentina).

Like its close relatives, A. macrodontes can asexually reproduce by forming offshoots from the mother plant, known by gardeners as suckers.

This fruit is edible, but not as large or desirable of that of the pineapple, and typically contains small seeds.
