Facts and Myths About Pineapples

There are many myths circulating in society about food and fruits, one of which is the prohibition of eating pineapple for pregnant women, because it can cause miscarriage. But is it true that pineapple can cause miscarriage?

Let's reveal the truth.

There is indeed a myth that says that pineapple is dangerous for pregnant women, but it is not entirely true. Because there are several factors that must be considered. For example, how ripe the pineapple is, then the health condition of the pregnant woman, if consumed in large quantities, because the enzyme content in the form of bromelain can cause contractions in the uterus, which can cause miscarriage.

But if consumed in moderate amounts, of course it is not dangerous.

In addition to the enzyme content, we also need to know the health condition of the pregnant mother. If they have an allergy to pineapple, of course they should avoid the fruit.

Well, so, this pineapple is good to consume when it is ripe, because the fruit tastes sweet and soft. In addition, the bromelain enzyme is destroyed when ripe. Well, it turns out that this pineapple can help the labor process, especially in the induction process.

After eating pineapple, sometimes we feel itchy lips and tongue. The itching is caused by the contact of the enzymes contained in it with saliva. However, if the pineapple has been processed, heated, or grilled, we will not feel the itching.

The enzymes in pineapple disappear after going through the processing process. Considering the cleanliness of the pineapple when peeling it can reduce the risk of this itching. Well, if we talk about pineapple, there is a unique fact, there is Saw Sin Hock, a Sarawa pineapple plantation owner in Malacca, Malaysia, who has had this Sarawa pineapple plantation for about 5 years, and its shape is like a caterpillar.
