Why does eating pineapple irritate the mouth?

Pineapple is an excellent food for promoting fat burning, but many people avoid eating it in large quantities due to the sensation that this tropical fruit leaves in people's mouths.

Have you ever wondered why eating fresh pineapple can cause itching and even pain in the roof of your mouth? For what is this? On this note We explain the reason and offer you tricks so that it does not irritate so much.

Pineapples contain a protease enzyme called bromelain. One of the main characteristics of proteases is their ability to break down proteins. In other words, they tenderize the meat so that the intestinal walls do not have problems in the digestion of proteins, which would bring serious health problems.

Bromelain is responsible for that annoying sensation in the roof of your mouth when you eat fresh pineapple. Since this enzyme is present in all parts of the pineapple, it is impossible to remove it before eating it. However, by removing the stem - the hard and fibrous part of the center of the pineapple - we can alleviate the itch a lot. And it is in the center where we find the highest concentration of bromelain.

Likewise, there are many people who say that leaving it to rest for a whole night is enough to reduce the irritation factor of this fruit, which, on the other hand, is highly beneficial, versatile and of course, delicious.

Pineapple strengthens bones, facilitates intestinal transit, reduces inflammation, strengthens the immune system, protects eyesight and burns fat, helping people who want to lose weight to lose weight.
