The fruit was stuffed with drugs in Costa Rica before being shipped to the wholesale market in Madrid.
In the video, police officers can be seen smashing open pineapples on the ground to reveal packets of cocaine hidden inside.
The fruit had been hollowed out and filled with cylinders of cocaine that had been placed in paraffin baths to cover its smell and prevent it being detected, according to local media reports.
The officers are said to have opened every pineapple in the batch and those containing the drug were carrying between 800 and 7,000 grams (28 - 246 oz) of cocaine.

Officers found 67 kilogrammes (147 lbs) of cocaine in total during the seizure, according to reports.
Spanish cops made seven arrests on suspicion of drug trafficking.
Other raids have reportedly found drugs hidden among fruit in Madrid but the traffickers have only recently begun hiding the illegal cargo inside the fruit.
