Fresh pineapple, originating from the Canary Islands, is a juicy and nutritious food. Composed of 85% water, it is very low in calories and rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C (12mg/100g). It also contains vitamins A, B1, and folic acid. Its richness in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and iron makes it an excellent choice for a healthy diet. Pineapple is notable for its bromelain content, an enzyme that aids digestion by breaking down proteins into amino acids, thus benefiting the digestive process. It is also considered a "medical food" due to its beneficial properties in various health conditions. Its consumption is associated with various properties, notably its digestive capacity, helping to stimulate gastric juices, making it recommended for digesting proteins. However, its intake is contraindicated for individuals with gastroduodenal ulcers or gastritis. Additionally, pineapple has an antidiarrheal effect, inhibiting the growth of intestinal microbes, and is known for its purifying properties, improving circulation in the liver. It also has anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy effects, as it reduces the risk of embolism. In the case of colds, it facilitates the elimination of mucus due to its proteolytic action. Furthermore, it contributes to skin health by aiding in the healing of burns and ulcers.
