Me (clueless): time to eat an entire pineapple.

The malicious enzyme bromelain:

I adore pineapple. It's one of my absolute favorite fruits. Fresh, frozen, grilled, in smoothies or savory dishes; it never disappoints.

Remember pineapples contains an enzyme called bromelain. "Bromelain is promoted as a dietary supplement for reducing pain and swelling, especially of the nose and sinuses, gums, and other body parts after surgery or injury. It is also promoted for osteoarthritis, cancer, digestive problems, and muscle soreness." It also has been shown to help alleviate a cough and loosen mucus.

Summer is so close and so is pineapple season. Get ready for recipes to follow.

Bromelain

Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from pineapple (Ananas comosus). Its name comes from the pineapple’s family name—Bromeliaceae, the bromeliads. Enzymes are a type of protein that act as a biocatalyst, which means that they help accelerate chemical reactions in cells. When bromelain comes into contact with collagen, a key protein that binds together muscle tissues, it accelerates a reaction where water breaks apart the collagen’s chemical bonds. Under normal circumstances this is a slow or insignificant process, but with bromelain’s help the collagen begins to break apart rapidly. Eventually the affected muscle tissue becomes mushy. For this reason it is commonly used as a meat tenderizer to make meats like steak softer before eating. However these enzymes don’t discriminate. What breaks down a cut of steak also breaks down your tongue. In other words: when you chew the pineapple, the pineapple chews you back. Heat denatures, or deactivates, the bromelain, so cooked or canned pineapple does not have the same effect.
