Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 My server was down most of yesterday and allevening. I buy pineapple all the time and just ask someone in produce to peel andcore it for me. I also heard somewhere that if you leave the pineapple upside down it doesn't hurt your tongue. I can eat it for a few days and then my tongue burns like crazy. Maybe it is supposed to be turned upside down before it is peeled and cored??

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Do you get a craving for pineapple when you eat a lot of protein? Bromelain helps to digest protein.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have a question just in case someone knows or has a similar experience. Every time I eat pineapple my teeth become super sensitive and even painful for several days. To continue having this fruit in my diet I have to put it in the blender and drink it, but I cannot chew on it. Does anyone have any idea do I experience this? Regards, Tat Pineapple I found this on Pineapple.... (BTW, I LOVE Pineapple!!)PINEAPPLES: NATURE'S HEALING FRUITBy N. Gilbert, B.Sc.Submitted by the author 15 Aug 2002Want to give your body a boost in health and healing? Then you may want to add some fresh pineapple and pineapple juice to your diet. Pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. This delightful tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which plays a major role in the body's healing process.Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits and encourages healing. According to Dr. Weil, bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. This powerful anti-inflammatory effect can also help relieve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and reduce postoperative swelling. Additionally, the bromelain contained in fresh pineapple can relieve indigestion. This enzyme helps break down the amino acid bonds in proteins, which promotes good digestion. Pineapples provide an ample supply of vitamin C too, a commonly known antioxidant that protects the body from free radical damage and boosts the immune system. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Collagen is one of the primary building blocks of skin, cartilage and bones. Vitamin C also decreases the severity of colds and infections. Furthermore, due to its high vitamin C content, pineapples are good for your oral health as well. A study conducted at the State University of New York at Buffalo found that vitamin C can reduce your risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Besides increasing the ability of connective tissue to repair itself, vitamin C also increases the body's ability to fight invading bacteria and other toxins that contribute to gum disease. Periodontal disease, which destroys gum tissue and underlying jaw bones, has been linked to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.So if you want a natural way to enhance your body's healing mechanisms, promote overall good health and tantalize your taste buds, pineapples are the way to go. Choose the fresh fruit because it has the most healing properties. Unfortunately, most of the bromelain in canned pineapple is destroyed due to the heat used in the canning process. When choosing a fresh pineapple, do not judge ripeness solely based upon color. There are several varieties on the market that range from green to golden yellow. The most important factor in determining ripeness is smell, let your nose help you decide. Ripe pineapples give off a sweet, fresh tropical smell. Avoid pineapples that give off an unpleasant odor or have any soft spots or areas of dark discoloration. Once home, let the pineapple sit on your counter at room temperature until ready to use. This will preserve its sweet and tangy flavor. To prepare pineapple, you need to peel it, remove the eyes (the thorny protrusions within the puffy squares of the skin) and the fibrous center. First, cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a sharp knife. Place the pineapple upright on a cutting board and carefully slice off the outer skin. With a sharp paring knife or the end if a vegetable peeler, remove the eyes. Don't cut too deep, just enough to lift out the section that contains the eye. Then, remove the fibrous core. One way to do this is to cut the pineapple lengthwise into 4 wedges (quarter it) and cut around the fibrous center core. Another popular way is to slice the pineapple crosswise and remove the cores individually with a cookie cutter. Once the fruit is prepared, it can be diced and eaten fresh, added to salads and entrees for an exotic flavor, or made into tasty tropical drinks.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 If you eat raw papaya or raw pineapple, rinse your mouth after eating them, as they have enzymes that can cause sores in your mouth and gums, because they break down proteins.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Probably a combination of the enzymes and high sugar content. Probably, brushing your teeth immediately after eating it would help this.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I keep seeing these messages about pineapple and mouth sores. I used to get them until I went to Hawai'i and ate a TREE RIPENED pineapple! I mean I ate the entire pineapple myself, sans peel. Nary a sore. I did that almost everyday for 10 days and it never bothered me. Got home, bought a pineapple and thought I was eating razor blades! Ripeness is the key.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 We've never had issues like this with pineapple. And we eat a lot of it, fresh and organic. Though I don't know if it is tree-ripened. I remember I used to buy a couple a week where I used to work in the warehouse, just so the workers would have something good to snack on. And we practilly live off it when we go camping in the summer to help bolster our skin. Peace, love, laughter Tech Support: " OK.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 It is possible to have allergic type sensitivity to it as well. I get some hives after I eat fresh pineapple, but not enough to stop me from having a taste when I slice one for the kids.
