Eating Apple with Pineapple: Is it SAFE or Not?

Short Answer: It is generally safe to eat apple and pineapple together or one after another. Because there is no scientific proof that they have negative interactions or cause health problems.

Apple and pineapple are both healthy fruits.

Apple contains vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, while pineapple has vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain.

According to Ayurveda, pineapple is a sour fruit that should not be eaten with sweet fruits like apple, as it can cause indigestion and acidity.

But according to science, there is no evidence that eating apple and pineapple together is harmful or unsafe.

In fact, some studies suggest that pineapple’s bromelain can help digest proteins and reduce inflammation.

As a nutritionist, my advice is to try first.

If after eating apple and pineapple together you experience any side effects, such as stomach pain, bloating, or nausea, then stop combining them. And if you can tolerate them, then continue.

However, you should be mindful of the quality and quantity of apple and pineapple you consume. Because too much of any fruit can cause excess sugar intake and dental problems.

Whether you eat them together or not, you should always choose fresh and ripe fruits. Because fresh fruits have more nutrients and flavor than canned or processed ones. And ripe fruits are easier to digest and less acidic than unripe ones.

You can store apple and pineapple in the refrigerator for up to a week. Do not store them in a plastic bag or a closed container, as they need air circulation to prevent spoilage. You can also cut them into pieces and freeze them for up to six months.

Finally, remember, apple and pineapple are delicious and nutritious fruits that can be enjoyed in moderation.

They can also be added to salads, smoothies, desserts, or other dishes for a tropical twist.
