It's pineapple season again, every time at this time, we can always see in the street at the end of the tricycle selling pineapple vendors, they will use skillful techniques will be a picked pineapple in less than a minute to peel off the surface of the hard skin, but also will be peeled pineapple in the water. This water is not ordinary mineral water, but salt water with a small amount of salt. So why should pineapples be soaked in salt water before eating? Next by me to decipher it for you.

Usually pineapple is cut and eaten, but the pineapple directly eat, will be a little sour and astringent, this is because in the pineapple there are more organic acid components, through the salt water soak can be dissolved, and then eat it will reduce the sense of acidity and astringency, and become sweet and savory. And soak it to remove the oxalic acid in the pineapple, which can be conducive to the absorption of calcium in the pineapple, so eat more delicious and healthy. That is, we often say that eating will be sweeter.

In addition to organic acids, pineapple has a special plant? enzyme? Some of the more sensitive people, if you eat the pineapple not soaked in salt water, there may be diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort, so it is recommended that each time you eat a pineapple before soaking in salt water for a while. Because pineapple has a substance called pineapple prion enzyme, this substance has a certain allergic reaction to the human body. And we buy back the pineapple cut into pieces, with salt water carefully soaked, the role of salt will make the pineapple enzyme inactivation. So that there is no mouth numbness or mouth itchy feeling when you eat it.

In addition to the above two kinds of two roles, for the pineapple why to use salt water soak there is another explanation, that is, it can be sterilized. Salt water also has a certain ability to sterilize. Sometimes peeling will make the flesh stained with bacteria or pesticide residues, after soaking in salt water, most of these bacteria and pesticide residues will be separated, eaten in the mouth is relatively more safe and secure.

General cut pineapple into cold salt water soaked in half a minute or so the best. If you do not have enough time to soak the pineapple in the enzyme can not be separated from the soaking time is too long, it will cause the loss of nutrients, and affect the taste, so soak half a kind of time is the best time. In addition, it is recommended to soak the pineapple for about half a day. Soak? When, try to deal with him a little smaller, so that the effect of soaking will be better. If you put the whole thing in, the outside may have been soaked? The outside may have softened. The inside is still intact. The original seal is still intact.

See here, I believe we have understood why the pineapple should be soaked in salt water before eating. In fact, in our lives there are very many similar to such a small trick, although often we can not accurately say what the scientific principles of these small tricks, but they can really make life more comfortable and convenient, I believe that this is a generation of working people's life experience it.
