🧐 Interesting Facts
The pineapple (Ananas comosus or Ananas sativus) is a species of plant in the Bromeliaceae family. It is originally native to the Americas and is now grown as a fruit plant in tropical areas worldwide. It forms fleshy fruit clusters that can be eaten fresh or processed into preserves and juice.
The word pineapple comes from naná 'fruit' in the Guaraní language. The Latin species epithet comosus 'crested' alludes to the head of leaves at the upper end of the fruit set.

😁 Pineapple as a mood booster
Pineapple provides both trace elements and can also have an additional mood-lifting effect due to its natural vanillin.
The unique thing about pineapple is the tryptophan it contains. It is the basic building block for the neurotransmitter serotonin. It can ensure the production of the happiness hormone in the brain.
😩 Pineapple and fructose malabsorption
Pineapples are not very suitable for people with fructose malabsorption. You can help yourself by mixing the pineapple and pineapple juice with some dextrose. The dextrose can help remove the fructose from the food already in the small intestine. This way, you will have less discomfort afterward.
🍬 Pineapple and diabetes
The pineapple has a low glycemic index, which makes the blood sugar level rise slowly. Therefore, enjoyed in moderation, it is suitable for people with diabetes.
