Pineapple - The World's Healthiest Foods

Image
Pineapples have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavor that balances the tastes of sweet and tart. They are second only to bananas as America's favorite tropical fruit. Although the season for pineapple runs from March through June, they are available year-round in local markets. Pineapples are a composite of many flowers whose individual fruitlets fuse together around a central core. Each fruitlet can be identified by an "eye," the rough spiny marking on the pineapple's surface. Pineapples have a wide cylindrical shape, a scaly green, brown or yellow skin and a regal crown of spiny, blue-green leaves and fibrous yellow flesh. The area closer to the base of the fruit has more sugar content and therefore a sweeter taste and more tender texture.  Pineapple, chunks, fresh 1.00 cup (165.00 grams) Calories: 83 GI:  medium Nutrient DRI/DV   vitamin C 105%   manganese 77%   copper 20%   vitamin B6 11%   vitamin B1 11%   fiber 9%   folat...
