1, Relieve oral discomfort: Pineapple contains protein, vitamins and other nutrients, but also contains bromelain, which can stimulate oral mucosa and lips and make people feel numb and tingling when eating pineapple. Salt water can destroy this pineapple enzyme, so soaking pineapple in salt water before eating will not be like this.
2. Enhance the taste of pineapple: pineapple contains some organic acids, and eating pineapple will make us feel sour. Soak pineapple in salt water for a while, and these organic acids will dissolve in water, so that we will feel more sweet and delicious when eating pineapple.
3. Reduce the loss of minerals such as calcium and iron: If pineapple is eaten directly without being soaked in salt water, the substances such as oxalic acid and bromelain contained in it will affect the absorption of minerals such as calcium and iron. Soaking pineapple in salt water for a while before eating will greatly reduce oxalic acid and other substances, thus reducing the loss of calcium and iron.
4, prevent allergies: pineapple enzyme will not only cause irritation to the mouth, but also may cause allergies, which is also the reason why many people have diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting after eating pineapple. After the pineapple is soaked in salt water, the pineapple enzyme is destroyed, and it is not afraid of allergic reaction when eaten again.
5. Sterilization: After soaking in salt water, it can kill the bacteria on the surface of pineapple and avoid diarrhea and abdominal pain caused by bacterial infection.
