Ananas
Ananas comosus
Pineapple is a tropical fruit rich in vitamin C, minerals and the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain. It may particularly support digestion and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Notes

Fresh pineapple contains active bromelain. Heat can reduce the activity of the enzyme. People with a sensitive stomach should choose fully ripe pineapple and avoid consuming very large amounts.
