  1. A good sourse of Vitamin, and minerals, and  they are also good as a digestive aid.


  2. rich in vitamine C, good for immune system

  3. Pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called bromelain, which digests food by breaking down protein. Pineapple juice can thus be used as a marinade and tenderizer for meat.

    Pineapple is a good source of manganese, vitamin C and vitamin B1.

  4. Yes, it has some Citric Acid (Vitamin C), but more importantly, it has Bromelain which is an Enzyme that helps to break down your food more efficiently and can help with your joints.

    It has some soluble fiber, so eating enough of it could help with cholesterol... but most other fruits/grains would be much better because of the high acidity (which can upset the stomach or alter your body's overall pH over time).

    It could only rid toxins if you eat enough of it because of the fiber content. In other words, it could flush out your bowels if you eat too much (diarrhea)... but that's not recommended to eat that much, again because of the higher acidity.

  5. Pineapple contains bromelain, which is a super anti-inflammatory, and aids in digestion. It also contains manganese  ( trace mineral good for bones, blood sugar levels, nerves, and thyroid, anti-oxident),  a high level of vitamin C (anti-oxidant, infection fighter), B vitamins for energy and nerves.
