Pineapple perfection! 3 ways with this spring-ready fruit

Pineapples are a tropical delight – their tough, spiky skin concealing a sweet and juicy interior. But beyond their tangy and delicious flavour, pineapples are nutritional powerhouses.

Skin saviour

Pineapples are rich in vitamin C which is important in the formation of collagen, a protein that promotes wound healing and helps keep skin firm and supple.

Free-radical fighter

Pineapples contain antioxidant flavonoids and phenolic acids, compounds which help to protect our cells from damage.

Anti-inflammatory

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme found in pineapple which is thought to offer many health benefits, including easing inflammation, aiding digestion and relieving arthritis.

All-rounder

Pineapple is an incredibly versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways – fresh, grilled, juiced, or incorporated into both sweet and savoury dishes.

Fibre-full

The fibre in pineapple helps to keep your gut happy, your digestive system healthy and you regular.
