High carb
54 kcal per 100 g
What kind of food is this?
Per 100g: 54kcal, with 1.33mg manganese, the highest of the fruits we list.
Manganese is a mineral involved in converting nutrients into energy and in the enzymes that build bone and connective tissue.
Another distinctive feature is bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme. Known for tenderizing meat, it can also irritate the lining of the mouth, and some dogs paw at their mouths after eating it.
How to serve
Remove the tough skin and core and use only the flesh. The skin and core are hard, and if swallowed can block or injure the throat or intestines. Syrup-packed pineapple differs greatly from fresh flesh in sugar content.

In food-energetics terms
In food therapy, this is classified as 'cooling.' It is said to gently cool the body and is often chosen in hot seasons.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
