Pineapple

(*)
This fruit, or fruit, has many more fans among gourmets than among dieticians. Compared with other fruits, it contains significantly less vitamins A and C. But it has more than other nutrients. This, for example, is a fairly rare mineral of manganese.
It is known that manganese promotes the exchange of protein and carbohydrates. But until nutritionists can not determine the amount of protein needed for normal body work. Experts are guided by generally accepted standards from 2.5 to 5 mg per day. One slice of pineapple contains half of this dose, which is quite good. Those people who have problems with sodium and fats can eat pineapple without looking back.
As they say, finally, we also saw, learned and tried the overseas fruit, associated with the famous poem of the Soviet classic:
Eat pineapple, grouse grouse.
Your last day
Comes, the bourgeois!
That's right: the story went to sleep. When buying pineapple, do not cut off the leaves to find out the freshness of the fruit. First, smell it: a good fruit has a sweet, very pleasant aroma and a hard shell resembling cedar nuts. The leaves of fresh pineapple should be green with a bluish bloom.
Torn pineapple does not ripen like other fruits. But it can be made more sweet if put upside down and left in this position at night. This helps the sugar to move from the bottom of the fruit to the top. In any case, pineapple is not hidden in the refrigerator, but kept at room temperature, that would preserve its delicate flavor.
