Description

Unsweetened crushed pineapple is an ingredient made from the pulp of fresh pineapple, which is processed to achieve a fine and juicy texture, ideal for direct use in recipes. Unlike pineapple in syrup, this preparation contains no added sugars, allowing the natural sweet and sour flavor of the fruit to be enjoyed in a healthier way.

The pineapple is a tropical fruit native to South America, specifically the region that now comprises Brazil and Paraguay. From there, it spread to other tropical areas of the world. Today, its cultivation is common in countries of Central America, the Caribbean, and also in Asia and Africa.

Regarding its properties, unsweetened crushed pineapple provides fiber, vitamin C, bromelain (an enzyme with anti-inflammatory and digestive effects), and water, making it an excellent complement for fresh recipes, desserts, juices, sauces, marinades, and both sweet and savory dishes.

Depending on the Spanish-speaking country, unsweetened crushed pineapple may also be known as ground pineapple, chopped pineapple, or simply crushed pineapple. In some places, the term crushed ananá is common, although "ananá" is a word more frequently used in South American countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and parts of Brazil.
