Pineapples - elte - Oct 17, 2016

I had one today, so I got one in for this year, which has been kind of a yearly tradition, aided by the produce market having them on sale for 77¢. I was trying to eat it quickly before the bromelain could cause my mouth and lips to bleed. So it's better to have someone or a few people to share one with. By the time I was done, my taste buds were numb and mouth a bit sore, but it was really tasty at the beginning.

Definitely notice those effects from pineapple. But I've tried bromelain capsules in the past (just to get rid of a couple of bottles that were lying around), which contain a far larger amount than pineapples. Really couldn't tell that they had much effect. Though it's not like I had much in the way of whatever pain and other problems for them to remedy, anyway.
