Pineapple Health Benefits & Nutrition
Bromelain — Pineapple's Unique Enzyme
Pineapple is the only significant dietary source of bromelain — a mixture of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes found throughout the plant but concentrated in the core and stem. Bromelain has been clinically studied for reducing post-surgical swelling and bruising, improving symptoms of sinusitis, and reducing knee pain in osteoarthritis. It is approved as a medicine in Germany for post-traumatic swelling. Bromelain also makes pineapple an effective meat tenderiser — the same enzymes that digest dietary protein break down tough muscle fibres in meat.
Vitamin C — 53% of Daily Value per Cup
A cup of pineapple chunks provides 79mg of vitamin C — 88% of the adult daily requirement. Per 100g, pineapple contains 47.8mg, making it one of the better tropical fruit sources of this essential vitamin. Vitamin C in pineapple is notably stable compared to other fruits because pineapple's natural acidity (pH ~3.5) protects ascorbic acid from oxidation.
Manganese and Bone Health
A cup of pineapple provides 1.5mg of manganese — 65% of the daily value for men and 84% for women. Manganese is essential for bone formation, as it is required for the synthesis of bone matrix proteins. It also activates superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) — the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme critical for cellular energy production. Pineapple is one of the most concentrated dietary sources of manganese available.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Beyond bromelain, pineapple contains quercetin, ferulic acid, and other polyphenols with anti-inflammatory properties. A 2016 study found that pineapple consumption significantly reduced markers of inflammation in children with digestive tract inflammation. The combination of bromelain's direct enzyme action and polyphenol antioxidant effects makes pineapple particularly effective at modulating the inflammatory response.
