Pineapple Juice

Drinking 100% pineapple juice is a delicious way to get important nutritional benefits. Nutritionists recommend taking 3-4 servings of fruit every day. A glass of 100 % pineapple juice is equivalent to a serving of fruit.

Pineapples are:

Large, juicy tropical fruit with sweet yellow flesh and a prickly skin.

Are ripe when they smell sweet and their leaves release easily.

Fresh pineapples contain a protein-splitting enzyme, like kiwis. This enzyme is no longer active in canned pineapple because the pineapple has been cooked.

Pineapple cannot (should not) be stored in the refrigerator like most tropical fruit.

Indians used pineapple plants as a fence because the leaves of the plant are very sharp.

Pineapples are plentiful sources of vitamin A and vitamin C.
