Pineapple: Super fruit how true?

Fruit salad would beat both.

Hi, I don't think pineapple is a super fruit. From my point of view, super fruit should be fruits which contains of special nutrition quality and taste. Apart from that ,superfruit must have two meaning - one for commercial success and another for health properties. But frankly speaking, I have no idea which fruit can be categorized as super fruit.

Pineapple is touted as being the super fruit because of it's acidic nature. It helps with weight loss and bloating. It also has a large amount of antioxidants, and loads of vitamin C. Pineapple helps our bodies to digest protein. Coconut oil is also a super food and helps with weight loss as well as other skin ailments. When purchasing coconut we have to make sure we are getting the "extra virgin coconut oil." I think pineapple and coconut are a winning combination.

hi syoti, i will agree with you if coconuts are really fruits. i tried to search but it seems they are still debating whether a coconut is a nut or a fruit or a vegie. one thing is sure. it came from a palm tree. ann

Maybe both of them are super fruit. :D Correct me if I am wrong but super fruit means fruit with many benefits.

What do you mean as superfruit? Durian has a nickname and it is called the kings of fruits. As for pineapple and coconut, maybe you can explain the term super fruit.

syoti I imagine a lot of those commercials are companies that are selling pineapples so of course they will put a great spin on it. LIke most fruits it is good for people's health but whether its the super fruit I have no idea.I imagine how much good nutrientsae ina fruit and whether or not it has antioxidants in it wou ld be some of the things they would consider.Here in the US blueberries are considerate a s uper fruit as it has vitamins, minerals, and anti ocidents in them too.I would check with places like webmd.com and also Dr.WEil.com as they make studies of all the fruits.

Hi syoti! I think I might have to agree with you! As much as I do like Pinapple, I love Coconuts! And there are so many more use for Coconuts! I love the meat, the milk and the uses are endless! You can use the mile for everything from washing your hair to baking! And he same with the Coconut meat! It has so many uses from cooking, baking to just eating it plain! I wish there was more opportunities for me to get fresh Coconuts here in NYS where I live. My grocery store hardly ever carries them! I don't even see them when I visit Florida where my Mother lives anymore!

Every fruit is super, so eat a wide variety every day and enjoy them all. Isn't coconut a nut? I don't think it's a fruit. So I would eat coconut sparingly.

I guess every fruit has it super function. we know that it all can help us to fight cancer and other diseases. what we need maybe is to combine all the fruits.

I think that the reason that many citrusy fruits are considered to be superfruits is because of the fact that they have a lot of vitamins in them. However, I don't actually think of any fruit as being a superfruit for me because of the fact that I like to eat fruit anyway and I think that I am consuming everything that I need by the fruits that I eat on a regular basis. That said, I think that the reason that they are now saying that pineapple is a superfruit is because the stuff has worn out on the other fruits.

Huh? The pineapple? Really? It must be super because it has high dietary fibre... I reall thought it was the mangosteen.

Maybe. Its a fiber and reach in vitamin c that gives resistant to our body. Later, they discover a content that fight against cancer. But aside from that, I love to eat pineapple especially the queen variety.

Asuper fruit is usually one that contains high nutrition and antioxidents. Pineapple is very good for you! And coconuts are on that list of super fruits aswell!

Many companies claim various fruits to be superfruit. There is not really a standard that a fruit must meet to be a super fruit. I like most of them a lot. I think that they need to consider how widely available something is before they start calling it super. It is basically a way to drive up sales of certain items and get publicity. You should eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to be very healthy.

Pineapple helps to reduce the weight and also to remove the toxins from the body. Pineapple is believed to nourish the body. I also think tender coconut water is good for health and especially good for removing the infections of the body. Coconut is used for different curries in our place. I think both pineapple and coconut are super fruits.

Pineapple is a super fruit because it (and strawberries and blueberries)has an enzyme in it that helps you digest your food and helps you to lose weight. I don't believe coconut has this enzyme in it. THe enzyme is called bromelain and is a protein digester. It effectively reduces inflammation and swelling as well.

It is funny that even fruit (so natural!) are getting in an economic race. Fruits have vitamins and minerals. Some people like one best, other people prefer another. I like pineapple, but prefer mango and grapes. It´s a matter of taste. I would not call either one the "superfruit". Commercials suck. They are all brainwashes
