FreshlyDried Pineapple

About our Superfruit Pineapple:

The pineapple, scientifically known as Ananas comosus, is a tropical plant that bears an edible fruit and holds great economic importance in the Bromeliaceae family.

Raw pineapple pulp is primarily composed of water, with 86% of its content being water. It contains 13% carbohydrates, 0.5% protein, and very little fat. In a 100-gram serving, raw pineapple provides 209 kilojoules (50 kilocalories) of energy. It is notably high in manganese, providing 44% of the Daily Value (DV), and vitamin C, supplying 58% of the DV. However, it does not contain significant amounts of other micronutrients.

                            

You need to know the benefits of Pineapple:

Rich in Nutrients: Pineapples are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, manganese, vitamin B6, and copper. These nutrients support overall health, immune function, and metabolism.

Digestive Aid: Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that aids in digestion by breaking down proteins. Bromelain may help alleviate digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.

Immune Support: Pineapples are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system. Regular consumption of pineapples may help strengthen the immune system and protect against infections and illnesses.

Promotes Health: Pineapples contain antioxidants and compounds like bromelain that can help reduce cholesterol levels, regulate blood pressure, and improve circulation.

Supports Healthy Skin: Pineapples are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C, which help combat oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Regular consumption of pineapples may promote healthy skin by reducing the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, and supporting collagen production for skin elasticity. Additionally, the vitamin C content in pineapples may help heal wounds and prevent skin infections.
