@healthiervision: Ever feel like pineapple is biting you back? 🍍 That tingling sensation comes partly from bromelain, a group of enzymes in fresh pineapple that break down proteins, including those on the delicate surfaces inside your mouth. Pineapple’s natural acidity can add to the irritation, making your tongue and inner cheeks feel prickly or slightly sore. Together, the acid and bromelain help explain that familiar burning feeling. After you stop eating, saliva helps dilute and wash away the remaining juice, so the discomfort usually settles. The enzymes are also broken down as they move through your digestive system. So, pineapple isn’t really fighting back—it just has a combination of enzymes and acidity that your mouth can definitely notice! #Pineapple #Bromelain #FoodScience #NutritionFacts #HealthyEating
