There are many varieties of pineapples. Long long ago, pineapples were sour and not many people liked to eat pineapples. Today, pineapples are sweet. There are big and small pineapples. The Malay people eat pineapple slices with rojak buah, paceri nenas or acar nenas. The Chinese use small pineapples (mutiplets) as offerings in their prayers. There is a small variety of pineapples, as big as 2 fingers, which is called nenas batu. Nenas batu has a medicinal value and is used by the Malay people to dissolve renal stones (batu karang kecing). The pineapple is soaked and the water drank for its curative properties.
