Properties Pineapple contains large amounts of vitamin C, which affects the immune system. It has antiviral and antibacterial properties so it can be consumed for sore throat and colds. It is a great part of slimming diets as it contains bromelin - an enzyme that breaks down undigested proteins and helps burn fat. Pineapple also has mood elevating properties, due to tryptamine, which operates as an antidepressant and relaxes. |
