Health Benefits Of Pineapple

Not only is pineapple delicious, but it’s also nutritious. It’s a good source of vitamin C and manganese, and it also contains bromelain, an enzyme that may have anti-inflammatory effects and aid in digestion. Pineapple consumption has been linked to potential health benefits such as improved immune function, reduced risk of macular degeneration, and improved respiratory health.

Ingredients:

There are five simple ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe: 

  • Pineapple: One fresh pineapple cut into rings or spears
  • Butter: Melted butter for richness
  • Brown sugar: For sweetness and caramelization
  • Cinnamon: A hint of spice
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness of the pineapple
