Pineapple
菠蘿

Don't panic — it's the tough core of the pineapple, not the prickly skin you should tuck into.
先別怕,不是要你吃多刺的菠蘿皮,而是中間較硬的菠蘿果心

Along with fibre and vitamin C, a pineapple's real benefit lies in an enzyme called bromelain, which breaks down food and dead human tissues linger in the digestive system quickly, protecting the stomach. "The core of a pineapple contains twice the bromelain concentration of the surrounding fruit," says Dr Glenville.
其實(shí),除了富含纖維和維生素C,菠蘿營養(yǎng)好就好在它的菠蘿蛋白酶上,這種酶能加速食物分解,清除人體產(chǎn)生的垃圾組織,有助消化,保護(hù)腸胃。格勒威利博士指出:“菠蘿果心的菠蘿蛋白酶含量可是外層果肉的兩倍?!?/div>

HOW TO EAT IT: Press and crush the core and add the juice to smoothies. It can be stringy, but the left-over pulp can also be added to soups or casseroles for extra fibre.
食用方法:將菠蘿果心榨汁,加入冰沙中。雖然看上去有些粘稠,但由于剩下的果渣含有較多粗纖維,所以可以將其倒入湯或者砂鍋菜中食用。
