Pineapple prevents cold

About thirty seven percent of the daily recommendation for vitamin c found in one cup of pineapple. Hence its daily intake prevents common cold.

The luscious, tart-sweet pineapple is full of nutrients as well as flavour. In addition to supplying Vitamin C, a cup contains your daily quota of manganese, a trace mineral that promotes bone health.

It is also a good source of bromelin, a digestive enzyme. You can enjoy this tropical fruit all year round: have it fresh or in the form of juice, jam, squash and syrup.

Go ahead and cut it into chunks and store in the fridge, pack it precut for convenience-the fruit retains its nutritional punch for up to a week.
