Bromelia pinguin is a plant species in the genus Bromelia. This species is native to Central America, Mexico, the West Indies, and northern South America. It is also reportedly naturalized in Florida. It is very common in Jamaica, where it is planted as a fence around pasture lands, on account of its prickly leaves.This terrestrial bromeliad forms a fairly large rosette of dark green, sword-shaped leaves that are spiny along their edges. The inner leaves turn bright red when the plant produces a compact, pinkish inflorescence that is followed by yellowish fruits that are edible but highly acidic.
The yellowish fruit that is edible, known as piñuela, peeled like a banana and eaten. They are slightly tart with a crunch from the seeds. The plant can be stripped of its pulp, soaked in water, and beaten with a wooden mallet, and it yields a fiber whence thread is made. In countries like El Salvador, it is used to make gruel.
