Pineapple is a tropical fruit that is grown in Hawaii and other places.
About Pineapple
Ripe pineapples have a deliciously sweet flavor. They also contain a digestive enzyme, bromelain. With the exception of vitamin C and Potassium, pineapples do not contain very much of the other vitamins and minerals. According to what we have read, bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits and encourages healing. Choose pineapples by their “pineapple” fragrance, and with some golden yellow color. They should be heavy for their size and have no soft spots. Pineapples do not ripen once they have been cut from the plant, so select ripe ones at the time of purchase. See the nutritional chart below.
