Pineapple

Pineapple, a tropical fruit known for its sweet and tangy flavor, hails from South America. With its distinctive spiky skin and succulent yellow flesh, it’s a favorite worldwide.

Pineapple packs a punch when it comes to nutrition. It’s rich in vitamin C, essential for a strong immune system, and contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion and reduces inflammation. Plus, it’s a good source of fiber, which can also assist with digestion and promote a feeling of fullness.

When selecting a ripe pineapple, look out for a fragrant aroma and slightly soft flesh when gently squeezed. Store it in the fridge, and after it has been cut it's generally a good idea to consume it within 3 days for the best taste and freshness.

You can enjoy pineapple slices as a refreshing snack or add them to fruit salads. It's a fantastic topping for pizzas, a sweet addition to grilled chicken, and a great add-in for tropical smoothies. Pineapple is not only a delicious treat, but can also be a nutritious addition to your diet.
