Pineapple with sweet and sour taste is a delicious fruit that many people like very much. But before eating pineapple, we must use saltwater to soak it. Why? What's the purpose of saltwater to soak pineapple? Do you know the benefits of eating pineapple?
Because pineapple contains a kind of 'pineapple enzyme' substance, direct consumption will stimulate the oral mucosa and the tender skin of lips, which will make us feel a tingling sensation. Salt can inhibit the activity of pineapple enzyme. After soaking pineapple in salt water, it can effectively inhibit the stimulation of pineapple enzyme on oral mucosa and lips, and at the same time, pineapple will feel more sweet.
Benefits of eating pineapple:
Pineapple contains a lot of fructose, glucose, vitamins A, B, C, phosphorus, citric acid and protease, which can eliminate fatigue and improve appetite. The pineapple enzyme can help the protein in the food to decompose, which is good for human absorption. After a full meal, a few pineapples can go greasy and help digestion. Pineapple has high potassium content, so it is suitable to be used as a seasoning for cooking food for hypertension patients, instead of the use of salt.
However, pineapple enzyme contained in pineapple is a kind of protease, which can decompose protein. Therefore, a small amount of food has the effect of improving appetite, but excessive eating is harmful to the human body and will cause gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, eat in moderation.
