Half a pineapple is a sweet, tangy tropical fruit known for its vibrant yellow flesh and tough spiky skin. Native to South America, pineapples have become a staple in global cuisines, particularly in Caribbean, Asian, and Hawaiian dishes. Half a pineapple is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which aids immunity and skin health, and manganese, essential for bone strength and energy production. It contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme believed to reduce inflammation and support digestion. Pineapples are also a good source of dietary fiber and natural sugars, providing a refreshing energy boost. While low in calories, their high sugar content means moderation is recommended for those watching sugar intake. Typically enjoyed raw, grilled, or blended into smoothies, half a pineapple offers versatility, flavor, and numerous nutrients, making it a delicious and healthy choice.
