Skids&pars 4 Weeks Of Fruits: Week #4- My fourth Best Fruit Is Pineapple

Greetings to everyone in the Skids&pars community. I am glad to be taking part in this contest again, my last contest was very interesting and great I know this week will be greater. Today I will be sharing and expressing my love for my 4th best fruits which is Pineapple.

My 4th best fruits is Pineapple. If it is not cucumber then it must be my somcious sweet pineapple. Pineapple contains so many nutrients and beneficial compounds, such as vitamin C, manganese, and enzymes to help aid digestion. Eating fresh or roasted ripe pineapple may help boost immunity, lower cancer risk, and improve recovery time after surgery.

I love pineapple because Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is an incredibly delicious, healthy tropical fruit. It’s packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and other helpful compounds, such as enzymes that can protect against inflammation and disease. It’s commonly eaten baked, grilled, or freshly cut. I enjoy eating my pineapple freshly cut.

My 3 reasons for loving Pineapple are:

1 It is loaded with nutrients
Pineapples are low in calories but boast an impressive nutrient profile. Just 1 cup (165 grams) of pineapple chunks contains the following nutrients

Calories: 83
Fat: 1.7 grams
Protein: 1 gram
Carbs: 21.6 grams
Fiber: 2.3 grams
Vitamin C: 88% of the Daily Value (DV)
Manganese: 109% of the DV
Vitamin B6: 11% of the DV
Copper: 20% of the DV
Thiamine: 11% of the DV
Folate: 7% of the DV
Potassium: 4% of the DV
Magnesium: 5% of the DV
Niacin: 5% of the DV
Pantothenic acid: 7% of the DV
Riboflavin: 4% of the DV
Iron: 3% of the DV
Pineapples also contain trace amounts of phosphorus, zinc, calcium, and vitamins A and K.

2 It contains disease-fighting antioxidants:

Pineapples are not only rich in nutrients but also loaded with antioxidants — molecules that help your body ward off oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is caused by an abundance of free radicals, unstable molecules that cause cell damage often linked to chronic inflammation, weakened immune health, heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. According to research Pineapples are especially rich in antioxidants called flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Two rat studies show that pineapple’s antioxidants may have heart-protective effects.

3 It may aid digestion:

Interestingly, this fruit contains a group of digestive enzymes called bromelain that may ease the digestion of meat.

Bromelain functions as a protease, which breaks down protein molecules into their building blocks, such as amino acids and small peptides.

Once protein molecules are broken down, your small intestine can more easily absorb them. This is especially helpful for people with pancreatic insufficiency, a condition in which the pancreas cannot make enough digestion.source

My best fruit can easily be source for in my locality or city. It is not hard to see or find this fruit and I can source it in

Grocery Stores
There are good grocery stores in my city where it could be found

Fruit vendor
Pineapple fruits can also be seen in where fruit vendor are selling fruit along with other fruits.

Market

Is it seasonal? And can it be dried and preserved?
It is not seasonal and can be preserved with refrigerator but cannot be dried.
