Per 100 grams of fresh pineapple, calories are 57 kcal, dietary fiber 1.4 grams, vitamin C 12 mg, potassium 122 mg, calcium 9 mg, and magnesium 14 mg. And because pineapples have multiple nutrients, eating in moderation is more beneficial to human health:

5 Benefits having Pineapple in cooking

Benefit 1 / Relieve constipation:
Every 100 grams of pineapple contains about 1.4 grams of crude fiber, also known as water-insoluble fiber, which can help absorb water in the intestine, promote intestinal peristalsis, and promote environmental protection in the body. In addition, its rich water-soluble dietary fiber, pectin, also increases the activity of good bacteria in the intestine, reduces the contact time between feces and the intestinal wall, and makes bowel movements smoother.

Benefit 2 / Antioxidant:
Pineapple is rich in antioxidants such as bioflavonoids (vitamin P), vitamins C, E, and B1, which help fight free radicals in the body.

Benefit 3 / Appetizers and boost appetite:
The sweet and sour taste of pineapple has appetizers and helps stimulate appetite.

Benefit 4 / Anticoagulation, antithrombotic:
Bromeliad enzymes can break down fibrin in the body, and then play an anticoagulant and reduce vascular embolism effect, which helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the bioflavonoid component contained in pineapple is an important nutrient to maintain human microvascular permeability. Therefore, the right amount of supplements has many benefits for strengthening cardiovascular health.

Benefit 5 / help digestion and absorption:
Pineapple enzymes can help break down protein foods such as beans, fish, meat, eggs, etc. After eating, moderate consumption can promote human digestion and absorption; it is beneficial to reduce symptoms such as abdominal distension and indigestion after eating. However, if the people often have stomach inflammation or have a history of gastric ulcers, it is not recommended to eat pineapple on an empty stomach to avoid excessive stimulation and discomfort.

Bromelain also softens the body’s muscles and connective tissue, eliminating inflammation and edema. In addition, pineapple is also a good dietary supplement for melatonin, helping insomniacs to have a good night’s sleep (better than oranges and bananas), reaching its peak after 2 hours of ingestion.

Notes

For cooking fried rice, we always use cold rice. In our Chinese family, we usually use rice that was not eaten in the previous meal and let it cool down in advance to prepare it for later cooking fried rice.
Before fried rice, prepare cooked cred meat and pineapple in advance to make the overall flavor of this dish even better.
Because cred meat is already added, no salt is needed for this fried rice.
All adults and children will LOVE this Chinese Pineapple Fried Rice. You can prepare the rice a little more. They will appreciate you!!
