Pineapple, the unique sweet aroma makes people drool
However, after a few bites, I feel sour and prickly
So the magic operation of soaking pineapple in salt water is popular in the market
If you have the same experience, you will understand after reading this article
Sorry! Useless!
There are two most likely reasons why pineapples “stick their mouths”.
(1) Pineapple contains bromelain, which can decompose the protein on our oral mucosa, resulting in a tingling sensation.
(2) Pineapples contain calcium oxalate crystals, which pierce into our mouths like needles, resulting in a tingling sensation [1-3].
But whatever the reason, sprinkling a little salt into the water and soaking it won’t help.

If you want to really not “stick your mouth”, the best way is to boil water for a few minutes, because hot water can inactivate bromelain and dissolve it. Calcium oxalate [4-5].
As for the pineapple soaked in brine, some people think it’s not as astringent, it’s just a synergy of flavors: Salt can reduce the bitterness, can increase the sweetness [6].
Japanese people are used to adding some salt when they eat watermelon.

In every 100 grams of pineapple, the vitamin C content is 18 mg[7], ranking 17th among common fruits, with a medium raw one.
Winter jujube is 13.5 times that of it, and kiwi fruit is 3.4 times that of it.
Clearly, pineapple is not the first choice for vitamin C supplementation.
And the other nutrients of pineapple are not outstanding. Pineapple just wins in taste, don’t have too much hope for nutrition!

Pineapple is a scientific name, and pineapple is a common name. As for what pineapple is better than pineapple, it is a concept hyped by businessmen.

Although bromelain has the effect of promoting protein digestion, it is also a protein itself. When we eat pineapple, bromelain will be inactivated under the action of pepsin in the human body. Therefore, the promotion of digestion by pineapple is probably only a psychological effect.
However, when pineapple is stewed with the meat, bromelain can help break down the protein in the meat and make the meat more tender. Give it a try!

The rumors in the rivers and lakes are always endless.
The rumor that eating pineapple will ‘sweet’ sperm is pure rumour, there is no scientific evidence that eating pineapple can ‘sweet’ sperm.
Really don’t have this fantasy anymore!
In short, pineapple (pineapple) is just an ordinary fruit, just eat it and be happy, don’t think about other things.
