The temperature rises day by day, the weather is getting hotter, and the season for eating pineapple is approaching. Pineapples in spring mature in April, and pineapples in spring and summer have more sunlight and taste better. Pineapple lovers will definitely not miss it. But recently I heard that because pineapple contains a lot of bromelain, it hurts the stomach when eaten on an empty stomach. Is this true?
Pineapple is a kind of fruit with high water content and low calories. Pineapple has a relatively high potassium content. Each 100 grams of pineapple pulp contains 113 mg of potassium. In addition to being good for cardiovascular health, potassium also helps relieve edema caused by excessive sodium intake. It is suitable for consumption during weight loss.
We know that the cut pineapple sold in the fruit shop will be soaked in salt water. This is because pineapple contains glycosides and bromelain, which can decompose protein in the body, and it has a stimulating effect on people's oral mucosa and the delicate epidermis of lips, causing people to produce allergic reactions.
After soaking in dilute salt water, glycosides and some organic acids can be extracted to improve the taste of pineapple. So since these substances in pineapple can irritate the mouth and lips, will it also irritate the intestines and stomach if eaten on an empty stomach?
In fact, these allergens in pineapple belong to protein, and the activity range is neutral and partial acid. When it enters the strong acid environment of gastric juice, it will lose its activity quickly. Gastric acid affects foreign microorganisms and macromolecular substances. The decomposition effect is very strong.
Therefore, if healthy people eat pineapple in moderation, it will not cause excessive stomach acid and hurt the stomach. Moreover, people basically don’t eat pineapple directly. Pineapple soaked in salt water contains irritating substances. Less, basically no harm.
However, it is better for everyone to eat pineapple after a meal, or cook the pineapple to make pineapple rice, pineapple meat, etc., which can achieve a better nutritional match and provide a special flavor.
Some friends do not like the slightly salty taste of the pineapple soaked in salt water. You can also choose to soak the pineapple with hot water or soda water, so that the soaked pineapple is more sweet and has no salty taste. The sourness of soda water is even less so you can choose according to your favorite taste.
In addition, pineapple is one of the varieties of pineapple. This pineapple can be eaten directly. The astringent taste of pineapple is relatively light. It does not need salt water or soda water, so it is more convenient to eat.
In short, if healthy people eat pineapple, it won’t hurt the intestines and stomach, but if you have stomach problems, or if your stomach feels uncomfortable, it’s better to eat pineapple as little as possible.
