What do you do with pineapple core? (lemmy.sdf.org)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Just bought a pineapple for the first time. Checked a few videos and posts on internet to see how I am supposed to cut it up, everyone said to throw the core away or use it in a smoothie at best. Even my mom said to throw it away.

Anyway, I tried to eat a small amount of it, and then ate the entire core. It's pretty edible, feels like throwing out pizza crust.

Much more chewable than celeriac. Though I would label it as "Dental floss mandatory" type of food, but so is anything with poppy seeds.

So how do you use it? Do you eat it, throw it out, something else?

Pineapple has an enzyme (bromelain iirc)that helps to tenderize meat.

The enzyme is in all parts of a pineapple not just the juice(not sure about the stems) so you could blend the core with the rinds and use to marinate some meats

I believe you need to rinse it off before cooking if you use the rind

Be careful with timing... pineapple juice will break that meat down into mush if you let it marinate too long.

It'll also break you into mush. When you eat pineapple it eats you back.
