You're not meant to toss out the core of a pineapple after cutting it. Most people slice it out and throw it away, but that's actually the healthiest part of the fruit. The core of the pineapple contains the highest concentration of bromelain, a natural enzyme that reduces inflammation, helps digestion, and even supports faster recovery after injuries. In fact, most bromelain supplements you see in stores aren't made from the fruit. They're extracted from the stem and the core. But yes, the core is tougher, more fibrous, which is why people usually toss it out. So here's 2 things you can do instead. Number one, blend it into a smoothie. Or number 2, you can even boil it to make a pineapple tea. So don't waste it. The core is where the real health benefits of the pineapple live. If you found this helpful, make sure to share it.
