The Core of the Pineapple
Bromelain is found in the stem and core fruit of the pineapple. This is that part that is immediately discarded. Bromelain contains protein-digesting enzymes called cysteine proteinases and research has shown that it helps with excessive inflammation, excessive coagulation of the blood, and certain types of tumor growth. You make the core digestible by blending it into a smoothie.
