About Pineapple
Raw pineapple is a tropical fruit known for its juicy sweetness and mild tang, eaten fresh, grilled, or blended into drinks and desserts. It's relatively light at 60.1 kcal per 100 g, with 14.1 g of carbohydrate, of which 11.4 g is naturally occurring sugar, and a modest 0.94 g of fibre. Its most notable figure is vitamin C, at 58.6 mg per 100 g, a substantial amount for a fruit typically eaten fresh rather than processed. It also provides 137 mg of potassium per 100 g.
Mainstream advice generally counts whole fruit like pineapple towards recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake, distinguishing it from fruit juice or syrup-packed versions, which concentrate the sugar and strip out the fibre. Because much of pineapple's sugar is intrinsic to the fruit itself, eating it whole rather than as juice keeps the fibre intact. A practical tip when buying fresh pineapple is to check for a sweet aroma at the base, which is often a better ripeness indicator than colour alone.
