Pineapple cores, the dense center of the tropical fruit, are often overlooked but pack a surprising nutritional punch. Originating from Central and South America, the pineapple has become a global favorite in cuisines, including desserts, salads, and savory dishes. The core contains fiber, vitamin C, and manganese, supporting digestion, immunity, and bone health. While slightly tougher and less sweet than the flesh, it still carries the fruit’s signature tangy flavor. Bromelain, an enzyme abundant in pineapple cores, is believed to aid in reducing inflammation and improving digestion. Despite its benefits, pineapple core consumption should be moderated to avoid excessive natural sugar intake, and its fibrous texture may pose challenges for those with sensitive digestion. For maximal nutrition and reduced waste, consider incorporating the core into smoothies, juices, or cooked dishes.
