Fruit properties

Pineapple is a tropical fruit, currently distributed all over the world, and depending on the season, it can be found at great prices. Even though it is sold in jams, we recommend that it is always consumed fresh so that we can take full advantage of the following properties:

• Pineapple is a diuretic and depurative
• Eliminates toxins
• Prevents constipation
• Facilitates digestion
• burns fats
• It is rich in vitamins C, B1, B6, folic acid and especially potassium
• It contains an enzyme called bromelain, which helps to carry out digestion and, in addition, destroys intestinal parasites.
