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.
True story
I use the core and peels to make tepache.
I cut it up into small pieces and then smash them to get the juice out. Strain it. Boom. Nice pineapple juice.
Dogs love it and if you have to get your dog to stop eating its poop, give it some pineapple. It does something that will make their dookie repulsive and they will stop. But they usually eat their crap when the food they are eating isn't meeting their needs. So maybe try different food.
The core?! They might swallow it whole and it get stuck.
If you have a dog so stupid it's chokes on a pineapple core, well idk what to say but you should probably consider it a sign.
A sign for what??
A sign for time to chop the core before giving it to doggie
Save the core and rind, blend it up and use it as a pork marinade.
The bromelaide? enzymes in the pineapple break down proteins, you just need to make sure you rinse it off, pat the pork dry and then season, salt kills the enzymes.
I eat it with the rest of the pineapple
I eat it with the rest, nice crunchy texture. It does contain a higher concentration of bromelain; which is good for inflammationand reducing eye floaters. Bromelain is found in the rest of the pineapple and you only get reduction of eye floaters after a few months of daily use.
That eye floater bit sounds sketchy af
You are eating the core/bromelain, not putting it in your eye.
Yes I know, that's why it's so weird. In what way does that work?
If you suggested rubbing it in, at least the vector would be clear to me.
It's there any paper in this, or is it purely anecdotal?
It breaks down the collagen that causes most eye floaters.
There was a 2019(?) study out of Taiwan, 3 months of daily use saw up to a 70% reduction.
I did try it myself and had a reduction, I didn't follow the study's dosages so my results weren't mind-blowing. I will be doing another round at about the highest dosage with all enzymes included, fingers crossed.
I'll need to give this a go sometime. I've never really had floaters until this year when I had surgery on both eyes and now I get them constantly. Would love to do something to reduce them, and if it involves eating pineapple, so much the better!
The next time you buy a pineapple, save the rind and make tepache with it. It's a nice refreshing drink on its own. It's also a great mixer for tequila and rum.
These days I throw them outside so the animals can be happy.
I chew it like gum and then spit out the fiber into the compost bin.
Why would you need to chew it?
Why would you need to chew it?
Do you swallow your pineapple core whole?
I mean... I could also just put it in the juicer, and drink it while the fiber is going to the compost.
Because it's still tasty!
Pineapplecore sounds like what someone would name surfer rock if it came out today
Ska covers of SpongeBob songs.
So ska covers of Surf Rock. (Lol the Mel-Tones fucking rule and I'd absolutely listen to that.)
Ska with a Ukulele instead of a trumpet.
Is that not chap-hop
I think it’s an ACNH design aesthetic.
I eat it as I cut up the rest of the pineapple.
Same wih mango peels.
I cut it out, but I chew on it. It is quite tasty and juicy, but too hard to actually eat it.
I've always just left it attached to the main part. My family's always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.
If you want to get more out of pineapples did you can use the rinds? It's a fermented drink called tepache. It's the rinds of a pineapple, water, and a type of brown sugar called piloncillo. I've never heard of using the core in it but I dont see why you couldn't add it in. I say add because the rind is where the fermenting bacteria comes from.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.
Take it and sprinkle it in paprika. Next, cover it in tin foil. Bake it in the oven at 300 for 45 minutes. Once it is baked. Take it out and immediately freeze it over night.
The next day, blend your frozen baked pineapple stick into dust. after that you will want to sprinkle your dust on a baking tray and set it low in the oven at a low heat for about 5 hours. This should dehydrate it nicely. Funnel the dust into a jar and save it.
Next time you are having a pizza with friends, sprinkle some pineapple dust on the pizza before it goes in your oven. They won't be able to identify what is making the pizza so delicious but they'll absolutely love it.
It seems like a lot of work, but honestly it is the single greatest foodstuff that has ever passed these lips.
If you're blending it up into a powder anyway, wouldn't it make more sense to add the paprika at the end? Does adding it before baking actually make a difference?
I genuinely thought this was going to end with like "and then shove it up your ass!" or something
I was expecting the undertaker throwing mankind
Hi don't put hot things in the freezer or I slap you dadly
Just to add to this in the simplest way possible...
Hot things heat up cold things! This is not good for frozen food! Let it cool off, then freeze it.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
They won’t be able to identify what is making the pizza so delicious but they’ll absolutely love it.
...and then you tell them it's pineapple, right? What an evil plan, I love it!
Or just let them believe you to be a pizza genius. Start to give them pizza hits as and when they need them. Sell pizza in small baggies by the ounce. Make your fortune. Buy a yacht. sail the seas. Become a pirate. Find some gold. Share it among your crew. Realise later it's cursed. Track down every last coin but one. Find the last one with some chick. Kidnap her. End up fighting an old foe. Die an old but very satiated pirate.
I haven't made it myself yet, but I've always wanted to make my own tepache, a fermented drink made with the rinds and core of a pineapple. I drink it a lot of the De La Calle tepache and really like it.
Ive made Tepache a few times and have loved it each time. Biggest mistake I (keep) making is I dont let it dit long enough, 5 days should be the earliest time to bottle.
I always just ate it too.
Way lower sugar, lots of fiber, it's probably the best part of a pineapple for you.
If you're expecting normal pineapple it's going to suck, but if you know what you're getting into they can be good.
Every once and a while I'll give it to the dog if it's too hard. As a bonus pineapple has bromaline naturally, you can buy it as a powdered supplement to put on their food, and for whatever reason it stops making poop taste delicious. They don't notice it the fast time, but the second go around they're not interested.
At one point I had to put it on a kittens food because the dog wouldn't stop raiding the litter box.
Edit:
Obviously look into if dogs should/can eat it first before feeding your dog a pineapple core. I think it's cool but you should never just do something from social media before verifying.
