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.

I'll vouch for that. I've never used it as a tenderisers although I know
about it but when I prepar a pineapple I can't resist nibbling at the flesh
left on the core even though I know i'll have a sore mouth for hours.

Short term hedonist, that's me!

For a few months I've been subscribing to home deliveries of organic fruit
and veggies, mostly locally grown, but some from far away. My intake of
papaya, pineapple, kiwi, and suchlike, has skyrocketed, and to use all
this stuff I've been making lots of fruit smoothies and icies. I've also
been battling painful cracking at the corners of my mouth, something I
never experienced in my whole life, and thought was just another gawdamned
side effect of aging. I'd several times read about the effects of these
enzymes but it didn't go into my longterm memory partly because I didn't
think it had ever effected me so why worry about it. But now that I know
what it is I'm sure as hell gonna wash up after eating fruit! Still gonna
eat it though. It's tasty. And I'm pooping MUCH better I bet you're glad
to know.
