Pineapple is a fruit, but it is not a citrus fruit. Citrus fruits belong to the family Rutaceae. Pineapple, however, are of the family Bromeliaceae. One of the main differences between the two is that citrus trees bear fruit from their branches, while pineapple fruit is the stem of the plant. Although not in the family of Rutaceae (citrus fruits), pineapple is very acidic and it is known that Pineapple pickers have no finger prints left due to the acidity in Pineapple.

No it isn't. I know this because I have acid reflux and my doctor told me pineapple helps counteract acid reflux, whereas citric fruit/acid CAUSES acid reflux. Also, if you take a orange or lemon peel and squeeze it in half to make the inside of the peel fold against itself, the outside of the peel will let out small amounts of citric acid, which is flammable if your holding it over a lighter, and nothing in or about pineapple is flammable

Yes it is because it has citric acids, which I am kind of allergic to. The acid in pineapple does something weird to my tongue... Not fun... :/
