Ananas is a german word. Karl meant pineapples. But kiwi is the same in
english. Both are fruits, very acidy but it shows only if you are coming
to the stop. Before that they taste wonderful sweet if fully ripe.

By the way:
Can you explain the exact difference between mature and ripe to me, when
these words are used for food?

I'm digging in my Orkos-orders for the main season of durians etc. I
can tell you only for Bali (part of Indonesia), Thailand and Vietnam.
I haven't got an opportunity to buy things of Malaysia.

Just now I can tell you, that coconuts are available the whole year,
no matter which of the three countries.
Peanuts from Bali are also in season all the year. (Try them! I bet
you have never eaten unheated peanuts. In the asia shop you might have
good luck.)
