Stop Throwing Out Pineapple Crowns – Do This Instead!

Pineapples are a delicious tropical fruit that is Mother Nature’s gift to us, tasting even better than some calorie-laden desserts. Sweet and juicy, the pineapple can be enjoyed in muffins, parfaits, pineapple upside-down cake, or just in sliced rings on its own. This popular fruit is commonly eaten in the summer, although you can indulge in it year-round.

In previous years, you could only find the pineapple in South America. However, thanks to a variety of greenhouses and tropical plantations internationally, this fruit is a lot more accessible for people who live all around the globe. And while the peel might seem prickly and unusable to many, you can make an incredibly tasty drink from it!

So before you think about throwing away the peel or the crown of leaves, remember that it’s 100% edible and really good for you!

What to do with pineapple leaves

Hold on a second before you throw your pineapple crown in the trash! First, twist the leaves off. Don’t worry – this doesn’t require a ton of strength. Afterward, peel off the bottom three or four leaves until the middle is revealed.
