Understanding Bromelain: From Food Sources to Health Benefits
2. What Foods Contain Bromelain?
Pineapple is the only natural source of bromelain. In South America, pineapples were served with heavy meals to help ease digestive upsets. Eating fresh pineapple and drinking fresh pineapple juice will give you the benefits of bromelain. Unfortunately, fresh pineapple is not always available in all parts of the world. You can take bromelain supplements, but always check with your doctor before supplementing your diet.
