Pineapple is a fruit rich in vitamin C, and also contains bromelain - a natural enzyme researched for its anti-inflammatory properties and helps reduce uric acid.
Like many other fruits, pineapple contains many antioxidants, which contribute to reducing inflammation in the body.
Although no food can completely prevent inflammation, a diet rich in antioxidants - including pineapple, can help reduce the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and liver and kidney diseases.
Pre-cut fresh pineapple is a simple and convenient way to enjoy this tropical fruit. You can eat it directly or combine it with other fruits to make snacks or desserts.
Freeze-cooked and canned pineapples are also quite convenient, but you should prioritize products without added sugar or syrup. When buying, pay attention to labels such as sugar-free, no added sugar, or packaged in natural juice.
With frozen pineapple, you can thaw it by keeping it in the refrigerator for about 6-8 hours for each bag of 450 grams, or soaking the bag in cold water for up to an hour. However, you also do not need to thaw it completely but can directly add frozen pineapple to smoothies or yogurt.
In addition, you can transform the dish with pineapple by adding green salad, salsa or smoothie.
