It could be a dwarf pineapple. The dwarf pineapple is a relative of the familiar pineapple grown commercially for its fruit. However, the fruit of Ananas nanus is neither as large nor as juicy, although the tiny pineapples are edible once fully ripe.
It produces a miniature pineapple the size of a hen’s egg, initially pink or red, turning golden yellow as it ripens.
@LadyKSunshine thank you for this info! I bought this plant when my toddler fell in love with it at the store and I had no clue what to expect. I definitely did not expect to see it ripening this small but what you said makes sense! πŸ™πŸΌ
