About Pineapple
Pineapple is unique among fruits for containing bromelain, a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes found primarily in the stem and fruit. Bromelain has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory properties and digestive support.
Key benefits
- Contains bromelain enzymes that support digestion and protein breakdown
- May support healthy inflammatory response and joint comfort
- Exceptionally high in vitamin C for immune health
- Rich in manganese, important for bone health and metabolism
How to use
Eat fresh pineapple between meals for anti-inflammatory benefits, or with protein-rich meals to support digestion. Include the core for higher bromelain content.
Did you know?
It takes almost three years for a single pineapple to reach maturation, and each pineapple plant only produces one fruit at a time before it must be replanted.
