Pineapple Core Is Useful Too.

Pineapples, called Ananas comosus, are tropical plants with juicy fruits and wonderful flavours with a bit of tartness. Pineapples are rich in vitamin C and manganese. They also contain fiber, copper, folate, pantothenic acid, thiamin and pyridoxine.

A lot of people only drink the juice while some that eat the flesh and discard of the core because of its hardness. Pineapple core is useful in healing because it is rich in bromelain, fiber and other beneficial nutrients so by discarding of the the core, you lose out on the useful nutrients it contains.

Pineapples are the only natural sources of bromelain which is a proteolytic enzyme with health promoting properties. Though bromelain is present in all parts of the pineapple, it is more concentrated in the core than the fruit. Bromelain has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant and anti-microbial.

Bromelain has been found to be useful for healing many ailments due to its anti-inflammatory

properties. Below are some of the health benefits of bromelain;
