Dried Pineapple: a short introduction

Pineapple is native to tropical and subtropical America. Early references are found in the writings of explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Sir Walter Raleigh, who found pineapples growing in the West Indies and used for food and wine.

The Portuguese disseminated the pineapple, introducing it to Saint in 1502, then carrying it to Africa and India. Today, pineapple is grown in Costa Rica, Brazil, China, India, and Thailand. Dried pineapple acts as an immunity-booster and is a good source of dietary fiber and antioxidants.

NUTRITIONAL FACTS

Dried pineapple belongs to the dried fruit family and is a tropical food with a high nutritional value, offering significant amounts of nutrients. Due to its low moisture levels, it contains many natural sugars and is an energy booster. Sometimes, the dehydration process slightly reduces the antioxidant content (when compared to the corresponding fresh fruit), but increases the concentration of vitamins, metals, minerals and trace elements.

Pineapples are considered to be a rich source of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant, enhancing the immune system and necessary for significant biological procedures. Moreover, pineapples contain magnesium, potassium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid, antioxidants and natural fiber, as well as a proteolytic enzyme, bromelain, which helps digestion. Indeed, research data shows that bromelain may also contribute to control inflammation, heal wounds and prevent the growth of some types of cancer.
