Are they the shape of their container or is the container the shape of the slices?

true, the pineapple is a naturally cylindrical fruit, but with canned pineapple each slice is exactly the same—they’ve been perfectly shaped in order to fit the container.

I think there would be a lot of waste on the pineapple just for it to fit a specific size (ie tin). So, for convenience, we create waste.

However, you are an adept photographer and these pics are very nice.

I would imagine that scraps are used in other products.

Awesome series, this shot is well done.

Canned ground beef or corned beef hash also retains the shape of its container.
