Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice is the juice pressed or extracted from the tropical pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus). It is characterized by a bold sweet-tart flavor and a refreshing tropical aroma. It contains vitamin C, manganese, the enzyme bromelain, and natural sugars. In the kitchen, it is used as a base for drinks and cocktails, but also as a marinade ingredient for chicken and pork, bromelain helps to tenderize meat. It works well in fruit salads, smoothies, ice creams, and as an ingredient in sweet-and-sour sauces and dressings. Freshly pressed juice is the highest quality option, though 100% juice and nectars from concentrate are widely available.
