The bromelain found in pineapples is beneficial for digestive disorders and for strengthening the immune system. Low calorie content is another big plus of pineapple. It is served both fresh and canned. It can be eaten as an independent dish or as a savory addition to salads.

Instructions
Step 1
Hold the green crown of the pineapple with your left hand. Cut off the entire rind with the right one. Cut the peeled pineapple into round slices, after cutting off the very bottom of the fruit. The slices can be served by placing them on a large, flat plate.
Step 2
Another option is to cut the pineapple into 4 large pieces. To do this, you must first cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then place the pineapple on the table and make two vertical cuts. Now cut off the peel from each piece. Next - cut out the hard part that was in the middle of the fruit. Cut the pulp into large or small pieces.
Step 3
Pineapple can be used to make boats. To do this, place the pineapple upright (green head up). Make two vertical cuts. In the resulting quarters, cut out all the pulp with a knife. Chop it finely. Put it in the "boats".
Step 4
You can make more complex filling for pineapple boats. To do this, in a separate bowl, mix the chopped pineapple pulp, a bunch of white grapes from seeds, 1 apple, 3 pears. Sprinkle everything with 1 tbsp. spoon of sugar, pour 1 tbsp. spoon of liquor, let the salad brew, putting it in the refrigerator. Then put the mixture in the pineapple peel.
Step 5
You can also serve pineapple by frying it in batter. To do this, dip the finely chopped pineapple pieces one by one in a special dough and fry in a boiling oil in a pan. Serve immediately, sprinkle with icing sugar.
