No on pineapple. It's a bromeliad that is commercially propagated through cut cultivars and most commercial cultivars lack seeds which negatively effect fruit quality. Now, corn, on the other hand, should be accepted. And yes, corn is technically a fruit and not a vegetable since it's basically the seeds and over-ripened ovaries of the plant that we are consuming.

 

But the seeds are not on the outside
