PINEAPPLES AND THEIR NUTRITION FACTS My Dear readers, Welcome to my new edition on Fruits. Today, my blog is on one of the most prized and popular fruit, called Pineapple or Ananas. It has an interesting history to narrate. The fruit is actually indigenous to Paraguay. It spread from its native by the local Indians up Later, it was brought to Spain by Columbus, from where; it spread to rest of the world by the sailors who carried it along with them for protection from scurvy (a disease caused by the deficiency of vitamin C) wherever they went. Its pulp is juicy and fleshy with the stem serving as a supporting fibrous core. The outer skin features rough, tough, scaly rind. The color in the ripe fruits may change to yellow, orange-yellow or reddish. Internally, its juicy flesh may range from creamy white to yellow color and has a mix of sweet and tart taste with rich flavor. Each fruit measures in size up to 12 inches long and weighs 1 to 4 pounds or more. Pineapple can be used as raw, as a refreshing drink, in cocktail, in salad, jelly, jam, in cakes, in yogurt,in ice cream, in all sort of menus too. Health benefits of Pineapple fruit Well, pineapple has lots of benefits for our health. It stores Minerals and Vitamin that are essential for optimum health. It flesh ha not cholesterol.

Lisa,Dear Pineapple Juice Is 5 Times More Effective Than Cough Syrup Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties. It fights infections and kills bacteria. The juice from fresh pineapples can suppress coughs five times more effectively than cough syrup. Pineapple Cough Suppressant Recipe - 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice - 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice - 1 piece of ginger (about 3 inches) - 1 Tbsp raw honey - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper Combine all ingredients and take 1/4 cup, 2-3 x/day and repeat recipe daily. Next time when I visit you during a pineapple season, kindly remember the above Recipe to serve me at least one glass, if possible ,Lisa. Kindest Regards.Stay happy and well, my love.

Hello Looklook, Welcome to my blog again and thank you so much for you visit and your nice comments. Good to know beside all the health benefits stated in my post, that pineapple also is for cough also. Thank you indeed for the recipe. If one wants to try it, it's according to his/her wish. But most of all it's the health benefits that is more important for everyone. Whenever I have time, I do make fresh pineapple juice for my visitors at home, Or sometime I make a punch of fruits too and they do enjoy it. We have pineapples nearly all year round, so I am always pleased to prepare any sort of drink using either pineapple only or mixed it in other ways too. Than you again for your comments, hope reading from you again on my next one. Wishing you a sound health. Best regards. Lisa.
