Is it a cooling or warming fruit?

Pineapple is a cooling fruit. Because pineapple is sweet in taste and slightly cold in nature, and contains a large amount of fructose and various vitamins, it has the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, and promoting digestion and stopping diarrhea. Pineapple has become one of the indispensable fruits in our daily life.

Why should it be soaked in salt water?

1. Avoid allergic reactions

After some people eat pineapple, allergic reactions may occur, with sudden onset about 15 minutes to 1 hour after eating pineapple, appearing as abdominal pain (gastroenterology, nephrology, gynecology), diarrhea (gastroenterology), vomiting or headache (neurology), dizziness, skin flushing, generalized itching, numbness of the limbs and mouth and tongue, and even a series of allergic symptoms such as difficulty breathing and shock (cardiovascular medicine, emergency department). People habitually call this pineapple allergic reaction “pineapple poisoning” or “pineapple disease.”

The main sensitizing substance causing “pineapple disease” is “bromelain.” Salt water can destroy the sensitizing structure of “bromelain,” causing it to lose its toxicity to people with certain constitutions. Therefore, when eating pineapple, you can first peel off the skin, remove all the peel, then cut it open and soak it in salt water for a while, so as to reduce the occurrence of bromelain allergy incidents.

2. Make the taste sweeter

It is best to soak pineapple for about half an hour. This can not only avoid allergic incidents, but also allow part of the pineapple's organic acids to decompose into the salt water, making the pineapple taste sweeter. In addition, pineapple also contains oxalic acid, which affects the human body's absorption of calcium and iron. Soaking in salt also neutralizes its acidity and reduces possible harm to the body.

How long is generally suitable for soaking?

Soak for about 30 minutes

After peeling the pineapple and removing the eyes, cut it into slices or chunks, put it in boiling water and cook it briefly before eating. Bromelain begins to denature and lose its effect at 45-50 degrees Celsius, and by 100 degrees Celsius, more than 90% is destroyed. Glycosides can also be destroyed and eliminated at the same time, while serotonin dissolves in water. After boiling, the taste is also improved.

If you want to keep the fresh taste of pineapple, you can soak pineapple cut into slices or chunks in salt water for about 30 minutes, then rinse it with cool boiled water to remove the salty taste, which can also achieve the purpose of reducing allergies. Remember, pineapple is not something everyone can eat. People with an allergic constitution should eat it with caution; those with a past history of allergy after eating pineapple should avoid eating it.
