In fact, the Portuguese health, nutrition and well-being portal, Tua Saúde, revealed that “pineapple water has diuretic properties that help eliminate excess fluid retained in the body and eliminate toxins from the body, through urine. ”.
Thus, to obtain the benefits you have to boil a liter of water, and when it is at its boiling point, place the peel of a pineapple or the pieces of pineapple with peel for 10 minutes over medium heat. Afterwards, it is removed, strained, left to rest and drunk during the day.
What’s more, Tua Saúde indicated that pineapple water can be drunk cold or hot as an infusion, you can also add other ingredients to increase its benefits, such as cinnamon, peppermint, ginger or lemon, for example.
Now, there are other ways to eat pineapple, as it can be consumed fresh, dehydrated or preserved, or it can also be used to prepare juices, smoothies, salads, yogurts and desserts.
Meanwhile, to choose a good pineapple you have to make sure that the leaves are green and should come off easily, since if they are brown or dry looking it means that it is not fully ripe or has become overcooked.

Furthermore, when touched it must be hard and heavy, because when it sinks it means that it is stale.
Regarding the color, it should be yellow on the verge of gold, but if it has many green areas it is not yet at its point.
For its part, it is important to note that once the pineapple is cut, it must be consumed quickly, but if the idea is to store it, a good option is to cut it, put it in bags and freeze it and, to defrost it, it must be defrosted correctly, that is, It is best to defrost in the refrigerator and not at room temperature.
