Why should pineapple be soaked in salt water?
Pineapple contains a substance called bromelain, which can cause allergic reaction. Only salt water or heating can destroy the antigenicity of the enzyme.

Slicing the pineapple into pieces and soaking it in salt water for 30 minutes, and then soaking it in cold boiled water to remove the salty taste can also achieve the purpose of eliminating allergies and making the pineapple sweeter.

Pineapple contains a bromelain, which has a strong function of decomposing fibrin. Some people are allergic to this protease. After eating 15 minutes to 1 hour, symptoms such as paroxysmal colic, nausea, vomiting, itchy skin flushing, urticaria, headache, severe dyspnea and shock may occur. There is also an organic substance containing ammonia, 5- hydroxytryptamine, which can make blood vessels contract strongly and raise blood pressure. As for some people who itch after eating, it is because the glycosides in pineapple have a certain stimulating effect on people's skin and oral mucosa. After eating untreated raw pineapple, your mouth will feel itchy.

The way to prevent eating pineapple allergy is simple: peel the pineapple, cut it into pieces or pieces, and cook it in boiling water before eating. This can destroy bromelain, glycoside will be eliminated, and serotonin will be dissolved in water. If you want to keep the fresh taste of pineapple, you can also cut pineapple into pieces or pieces and soak them in salt water for 30 minutes, then soak them in cold boiled water to remove the salty taste, which can also achieve the purpose of eliminating allergies and make pineapple taste sweeter.
