Just bought a pineapple for the first time. Checked a few videos and posts on internet to see how I am supposed to cut it up, everyone said to throw the core away or use it in a smoothie at best. Even my mom said to throw it away.
Anyway, I tried to eat a small amount of it, and then ate the entire core. It’s pretty edible, feels like throwing out pizza crust.
Much more chewable than celeriac. Though I would label it as “Dental floss mandatory” type of food, but so is anything with poppy seeds.
So how do you use it? Do you eat it, throw it out, something else?
I always just ate it too.
Way lower sugar, lots of fiber, it’s probably the best part of a pineapple for you.
If you’re expecting normal pineapple it’s going to suck, but if you know what you’re getting into they can be good.
Every once and a while I’ll give it to the dog if it’s too hard. As a bonus pineapple has bromaline naturally, you can buy it as a powdered supplement to put on their food, and for whatever reason it stops making poop taste delicious. They don’t notice it the fast time, but the second go around they’re not interested.
At one point I had to put it on a kittens food because the dog wouldn’t stop raiding the litter box.
Edit:
Obviously look into if dogs should/can eat it first before feeding your dog a pineapple core. I think it’s cool but you should never just do something from social media before verifying.
Dogs love it and if you have to get your dog to stop eating its poop, give it some pineapple. It does something that will make their dookie repulsive and they will stop. But they usually eat their crap when the food they are eating isn’t meeting their needs. So maybe try different food.
If you have a dog so stupid it’s chokes on a pineapple core, well idk what to say but you should probably consider it a sign.
Take it and sprinkle it in paprika. Next, cover it in tin foil. Bake it in the oven at 300 for 45 minutes. Once it is baked. Take it out and immediately freeze it over night.
The next day, blend your frozen baked pineapple stick into dust. after that you will want to sprinkle your dust on a baking tray and set it low in the oven at a low heat for about 5 hours. This should dehydrate it nicely. Funnel the dust into a jar and save it.
Next time you are having a pizza with friends, sprinkle some pineapple dust on the pizza before it goes in your oven. They won’t be able to identify what is making the pizza so delicious but they’ll absolutely love it.
It seems like a lot of work, but honestly it is the single greatest foodstuff that has ever passed these lips.
I genuinely thought this was going to end with like “and then shove it up your ass!” or something
They won’t be able to identify what is making the pizza so delicious but they’ll absolutely love it.
…and then you tell them it’s pineapple, right? What an evil plan, I love it!
Or just let them believe you to be a pizza genius. Start to give them pizza hits as and when they need them. Sell pizza in small baggies by the ounce. Make your fortune. Buy a yacht. sail the seas. Become a pirate. Find some gold. Share it among your crew. Realise later it’s cursed. Track down every last coin but one. Find the last one with some chick. Kidnap her. End up fighting an old foe. Die an old but very satiated pirate.
Pineapple has an enzyme (bromelain iirc)that helps to tenderize meat.
The enzyme is in all parts of a pineapple not just the juice(not sure about the stems) so you could blend the core with the rinds and use to marinate some meats
I believe you need to rinse it off before cooking if you use the rind
Be careful with timing… pineapple juice will break that meat down into mush if you let it marinate too long.
I eat it with the rest, nice crunchy texture. It does contain a higher concentration of bromelain; which is good for inflammationand reducing eye floaters. Bromelain is found in the rest of the pineapple and you only get reduction of eye floaters after a few months of daily use.
Yes I know, that’s why it’s so weird. In what way does that work?
If you suggested rubbing it in, at least the vector would be clear to me.
It’s there any paper in this, or is it purely anecdotal?
