Pineapples have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavor that balances the tastes of sweet and tart.  Pineapples have a wide cylindrical shape, a scaly green, brown or yellow skin and a regal crown of spiny, blue-green leaves and fibrous yellow flesh. The area closer to the base of the fruit has more sugar content and therefore a sweeter taste and more tender texture. Fresh pineapple is low in calories. Nonetheless, ii is a storehouse of several unique health promoting compounds, minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.

In addition, this fruit is rich in B-complex group of vitamins like folates, thiamin, pyridoxine, riboflavin and minerals like copper, manganese and potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids, helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Fresh pineapple is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin; vitamin C. 100 g fruit contains 47.8 or 80% of this vitamin. It is also a  rich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber like pectin.


Pineapple fritters is just like banana fritters made using pineapple instead of banana. The sweet and tart taste of pineapple gives an edge to this recipe. It definitely a tea time snack liked by everyone.
