Your pay is the peel and discarded seed strips.

It looks like the core is available too. That still tastes great and contains the most bromelain.

I used to spiral cut out the flower cups but just eat them now. And the core.

Another thing that puzzles me is almost everyone throws away deep fried shrimp tails. They are tasty and crunchy and perfectly edible.

as a non-tropical person that was eye-opening when I read online that apparently with fresh pineapples, the core is edible? the ones we get here, the core is like chewing very fibrous, very dry wood. have always wondered what the core tastes like since.

Isn't bromelain the chemical that digests you back when you eat a pineapple?

No it's a powerful natural anti-inflammatory and digestive aid.
