So, is the pineapple core healthy? The answer is a resounding yes. It’s not the enemy. It’s just misunderstood. It’s the awkward, hardworking cousin at the family reunion who nobody talks to, but who runs the sound system and makes sure everyone is fed.
You don’t have to eat it like a snack. You just have to be a little creative. Next time you cut a pineapple, don’t just throw the core away. Give it a second chance. Toss it in a smoothie, boil it for tea, or use it to make a killer marinade.
Your body will get a boost of fiber, a hit of anti-inflammatory bromelain, and your wallet will feel a little thicker because you’re using the whole fruit. That’s a win-win-win. And honestly? Janice would be proud.
