About Ananas

Ananas, commonly known as pineapple, is a tropical fruit native to South America, specifically Paraguay and Brazil. It became popular in global cuisines after being disseminated by European colonizers. Pineapple is prized for its pleasantly sweet and tart flavor, making it a staple in tropical salads, desserts, and smoothies. Nutritionally, a 100-gram serving contains approximately 50 calories, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 1.4 grams of fiber, and is rich in vitamin C (47.8 mg, providing over 50% of daily needs per serving). It also contains small amounts of calcium, iron, and bromelain, an enzyme linked to digestive health. With negligible fat and protein, pineapple is primarily a carbohydrate-based fruit, ideal for a quick energy boost.
