Ananas

The queen of tropical fruit

According to legend, it was Christopher Columbus who brought the pineapple to Europe. And a good thing, too! This wonderfully fragrant and highly decorative tropical fruit is a visual and flavorful triumph.

Today there are as many as 100 different varieties of pineapple, with flesh varying from almost white (perola) to brilliant yellow (MD-2). Similarly to chocolate, this exotic beauty causes your body to release endorphins, but it’s also low in calories and even helps you lose weight.

Pineapple is refreshing and makes you more alert and energetic. It’s rich in iron, potassium, zinc, vitamin B12, and calcium. It also has an enzyme that does you a world of good.
