Nope, you won’t be staring at pictures of pineapples at the Johor Pineapple Museum. Instead, you’ll get to discover the different types of pineapples, the lifecycle of the tropical fruit, and the steps involved from planting the pineapple plant to processing the pineapple fruit.

Apparently, pineapple fruits to be canned, freshly consumed or used for ornamental purposes are all actually planted separately and this can be seen in the plantation outside the museum.

After your tour, you can even buy home goodies made out of the sweet fruit like pineapple juice, pineapple jam and so on!

 

While the information in this list is accurate at the time of publishing, we advise you to check with the respective place/merchant beforehand to avoid any disappointment.
