Although there has been little research done on individual tropical fruits such as pineapple, epidemiological studies show a lower risk of heart disease, cancer and high blood pressure with diets rich in tropical fruits. One cup of pineapple supplies 76 calories, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, potassium and magnesium. This team of vitamins and minerals fights against heart disease and cancer and helps to keep blood pressure levels healthy. Action Tip: Enjoy juicy pineapple fresh or added to smoothies. Grilled pineapple and pineapple fruit salsas add sweet flavour to grilled poultry, pork or seafood. Pineapple juice adds flavour to salad dressing, marinades, smoothies and when used with water to cook rice, adds wonderful flavour to stir-fry and pilafs. Don’t forget to add pineapple chunks to pizza, fruit salads and stir-fries. |
