Raise your hand if you haven’t heard the story of the fat-burning pineapple?
Today I have bad news for you, it only burns fat if you swim to Costa Rica to pick it. 🙂
What can be stated without fear of contradiction is that the calories in pineapple are equivalent to those in an apple (100 grams equals 52 kcal), and generally all fruits and vegetables help increase fiber intake in the diet, keeping in mind that it is not particularly rich in vitamins.
In conclusion, eat pineapple because you like it and not because you think it has a fat-burning action because unfortunately, such action does not exist.
How to choose a pineapple:
The skin color should be an intense yellow, not tending towards green, which would mean an unripe pineapple, but not too brown because in this case, the pineapple would be too ripe.
Also, pay attention to the crown of the pineapple; the leaves should come off easily with a little pressure.
With these guidelines, you won’t go wrong when purchasing.
- Cost: Economical
- Preparation time: 5 Minutes
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
A ripe pineapple
- 1 pineapple
Necessary Tools to Clean the Pineapple
As always, I only suggest tools I use because it doesn’t make sense to suggest tools I haven’t tried:
in this case, a cutting board that is easily washable, even in the dishwasher, will suffice;
a knife with a serrated blade;
a corer, I use the one for apples, but if you don’t have one you can simply use a knife to remove the core.

- 1 Knife
- 1 Corer
Steps
To clean the pineapple, simply cut off the top and the bottom as you see in the video. Slice the skin from top to bottom, also removing the so-called eyes; if any remain, you can remove them with a small knife.
Using a corer, remove the center part even though I like it and leave it (it’s the richest in fiber), then proceed by cutting slices of the desired thickness.

Storage.
I put the sliced pieces in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for a couple of days.
