Here is some information about the vitamineral benefits found in pineapples!

Pineapple is a sweet, tropical fruit that can be found in most grocery stores year round, though the main growing season in March through June. The fruit gets its name from the Spanish word "pina" and the English word "apple," reflecting the fruit's resemblance to a pinecone, according to World's Healthiest Food's. The fruit can be eaten raw, juiced or used in a variety of cooking dishes. A typical serving of raw pineapple is 1 cup of chopped fruit. The fruit's nutritional benefits include high doses of vitamins C and other B complex vitamins.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is dominates the vitamin category; 131 percent of the recommended daily value can be found in one serving of raw pineapple. The daily value is based on the recommended dietary allowance. Vitamin C has a variety of health benefits including boosting the immune system and aiding in the absorption of iron. The body also requires vitamin C for proper and healthy formation of collage, muscles, bone and blood vessels.
