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.
