Flesh-Eating Pineapple

[KittiesKorner]

The last couple weeks, I have been eating big tupperware things of pineapple in the afternoon after my customary kale and carrots. On my way home , my mouth stung and I was like okay, maybe too much pineapple. Then the last couple days, my lips started bleeding.

Turns out pineapple has a meat- and flesh-tenderizing enzyme called bromelain.

So, as with all things, exercise moderation when eating pineapple unless you like bleeding lips (your own, not a laday's)

I had this happened to me when I ate a bunch of pineapple. Haven't had pineapple since. Thanks for the info Riggs.

i have never had this problem eating pineapple, however I never eat much of it in one sitting.

 

[Crystallas]

Never had this issue, and I've eaten a lot of pineapple. But still good to know about the bromelain.


Kiwi will make my tongue raw if I eat more than 3 in a sitting.

You guys have some weird binge eating habits.

 

[KittiesKorner]

Not really binging just trying out different kinds of lunch side dish and i have to get through the whole pineapple in a week or throw it out

I ate too many crab apples one time it didn't hurt my lips but there were some side effects

Just one pineapple?

Yeah, that's not binge eating.

Pineapple is the angry fruit. Try this: puree a fresh pineapple, pour over a chicken breast, sit for a day or two in the fridge... Liquified chicken. Amazing enzymes.

Btw, u r officially chicken lips.

I've had it hurt my tongue after a while but no bleeding lips.

It's so delicious, though.

My dentist told me to rinse my mouth out with water after eating pineapple..Not only for the reason Ole cited, but the acid can damage your teeth
