Pineapples contain protein digesting enzymes, of which the main one is called Bromelain. This enzyme also helps to dissolve excess mucus and is therefore great for relieving symptoms of asthma and hay fever.
#Fun Fact: When pineapples were first introduced to Great Britain during the reign of Charles II, they were so rare that only the very rich could afford them.
#Fun Fact 2: It takes 18 months or more for a pineapple plant to produce its first fruit, and each plant only produces one or two pineapple per year.
