00:00:06,569 --> 00:00:14,150 the golden fruit August first

00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:17,039 [Music]

00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:18,930 everyone loves fruit but there's more to

00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:21,960 some of these naturally sweet streets

00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:24,570 than meets the eye one example is the

00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,510 pineapple this tropical treasure not

00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:30,990 only burns people's tongues but also has

00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:33,239 historical roots in luxury pineapples

00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:35,129 are native to South America Christopher

00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:39,269 Columbus found them on his voyages to

00:00:35,130 --> 00:00:41,940 the Americas in 1493 and introduced them

00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:44,120 to Europe nevertheless they couldn't

00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:46,589 survive in Europe's colder climates

00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,769 growers needed to build special hot

00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:52,620 houses raising the fruits prized just

00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:55,789 being able to buy a pineapple let alone

00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:59,280 eat it was a sign of wealth today

00:00:55,789 --> 00:01:00,000 pineapples are much easier to find but

00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,960 are they easy to eat

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,780 anyone who has eaten a pineapple has

00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,720 noticed how it can burn the mouth

00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:12,659 this happens because of an enzyme called

00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:15,030 bromelain which destroys the protective

00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:18,210 mucus in your mouth and causes a

00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:20,549 stinging sensation it's not all bad

00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:23,600 though bro Milan also helps with

00:01:20,549 --> 00:01:26,610 digestion and reduces inflammation

00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,729 besides eating it raw people can cook

00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:31,680 pineapple to remove the bromelain

00:01:28,729 --> 00:01:34,408 pineapple also adds sweetness to seafood

00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,439 and can be made into pineapple juice and

00:01:34,409 --> 00:01:40,710 jam it sometimes even goes on Pizza

00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:42,679 though not everyone likes that Hawaiian

00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:45,449 pizza topped with pineapple and ham

00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,189 isn't popular with people who say fruit

00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:49,920 shouldn't be combined with meat and

00:01:47,189 --> 00:01:53,189 cheese this has even become a frequent

00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,310 topic of debate online however people

00:01:53,189 --> 00:01:57,750 feel about seeing it on pizza

00:01:55,310 --> 00:02:00,000 pineapple remains popular around the

00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:03,600 world it may no longer be associated

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,570 with wealth but is still sweet delicious

00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,100 and equally good as a snack or as part

00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:11,650 of a larger meal
