Pineapple juice recipe – Make refreshing, delicious and healthy pineapple juice at home in minutes. Apart from being low in calories, Pineapples are also low in sodium and high in vitamins and manganese. A combination of enzymes known as bromelain are found in pineapples which help to break down the proteins and assist us in better digestion of foods. Most of the bromelain in a pineapple lies in the core and the skin.
Pineapple is one of those fruits which we often end up juicing or using in smoothies rather than enjoying the whole fruit as it is. Pineapple juice can be made in a blender or any kind of juicer. I have made it in a slow juicer so have not added any kind of liquid to this. But if making in a blender, you may use young/tender coconut water or just plain water.
To make this pineapple juice, ingredients like ginger, pepper, pink salt and holy basil can be used. These are helpful to prevent the throat irritation after consuming pineapples. Always use ripe pineapples as the unripe ones are said to cause stomach problems.
If making in a slow juicer, 2 medium sized pineapples will yield about 1.5 lts of pure pineapple juice. If making in a blender 2 cups of pineapple chunks blended with 1 cup of water will yield about 2 cups of juice.
For the best taste and nutrition, consume immediately before the pineapple juice begins to oxidize.
