Nutrition Info
Pineapple, Ananas comosus, belongs to the Bromeliaceae family, from which one of its most important health promoting compounds, the enzyme bromelain, was named. Bromelain is a mix of enzymes which has been shown to lessen inflammation and reduce types of swelling. These enzymes block the production of kinins that form during inflammation.

In clinical human trials, bromelain has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects, reducing swelling in inflammatory conditions such as acute sinusitis, sore throat, arthritis and gout, and speeding recovery from injuries and surgery. To maximize bromelain’s anti-inflammatory effects, pineapple should be eaten alone between meals or its enzymes will be used up digesting food.

Pineapple is an excellent source of the trace mineral manganese, which is an essential cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses.

In addition to manganese, pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin B1, copper, dietary fiber and vitamin B6. Among the many benefits of vitamin B1 is its ability to increase blood circulation and provide a greater supply of oxygen to the blood cells. In addition, vitamin B1 is known to help with the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, making it vital to good digestion.



Pineapple Facts
Southeast Asia dominates world production of pineapple: in 2001 Thailand produced 1.979 million tons, the Philippines 1.618 million tons and Brazil 1.43 million tons. Total world production in 2001 was 14.220 million tonnes.

The primary exporters of fresh pineapples in 2001 were Costa Rica, 322 000 tonnes, Côte d'Ivoire, 188 000 tons and the Philippines, 135 000 tons.

The pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality since colonial days. The discovery of formerly unknown continents brought new and exotic fruits to Europe and the American colonies. Merchants and sea captains returning from the West Indies would present their guests or host with a pineapple as a gesture of friendship. The significance of such a gift was greatly enhanced by the rarity of tropical fruit.
