Pineapple is one of my favorite fruit, as it’s tastes great with a hint of salt and red chili, which can be tasted as appetizer when you don’t have anything else then this in your hand..
Then we can also make dishes with it, by grilling it, sautéing it’s, purée of it. Etc.. right from sweets to savory items it’s used. And it’s healthy too.
