Besides eating, what else have you found pineapples are also good
for ?

Is this a trick question? ?I've tried to root the top in the past, but
it hasn't worked for me.

Meat tenderizer. There's an enzyme in them, this is the main ingredient in
"accent:" meat tenderizer. It's why the corners of your mouth can get a
little sore if you eat a lot of fresh pineapple.

Yeah, it's eating you back!

It's also why you can't put fresh pineapple in Jell-o. The enzymes in
the pineapple break down the protein bonds in the gelatin and won't
gel.

Same thing with fresh kiwifruit and papaya. They all contain enzymes
which denature protein.
