In order to defend against the invasion of herbivores, pineapples gather a lot of unpalatable substances in the body, among which several protein hydrolases will destroy the structures such as gums and oral mucosa after entering the mouth, so when eating pineapples, oral tingling and even bleeding often occur, so when eating pineapples, it is necessary to soak them in salt water in advance. However, the content of these proteases in pineapple is low, so it can be eaten directly without soaking in salt water.
