Health Benefits of Pineapple

This versatile fruit is not only packed with vitamins and antioxidants but contains helpful digestive and disease-fighting aids.

Here are just a few of the health benefits of pineapple:

  • High in nutrients: Though they contain nutrients like B6, copper, and thiamin, pineapples are rich in vitamin C and manganese. Vitamin C is a known immune system booster, while manganese amps your metabolism and aids growth.
  • Rich in antioxidants: Pineapples are rich in antioxidants that can reduce the risk of some cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.
  • Contains digestive enzymes: This tropical fruit is high in bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps break down food particles into protein molecules for easy absorption. This enzyme can also help ease inflammation, making it helpful in easing the pain of arthritis and surgical recoveries.

Jeanetteโ€™s Pineapple Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks or tidbits in juice
  • 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Ritz cracker crumbles, divided

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF and lightly spray a shallow 1-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Drain the pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. If there isnโ€™t enough juice, donโ€™t fret, just add a splash of OJ or water to make up the difference.
  3. In a bowl, combine the reserved juice and flour until smooth. Add the sugar, drained pineapple, and cheese, and stir until everything is combined. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbles, then spoon the mixture into the baking dish.
  4. Stir the remaining cup of cracker crumbles with the melted butter and spread it evenly over the pineapple mixture.
  5. Pop your casserole into the oven and bake at 350ยฐF for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crackers are starting to brown. Serve immediately.

And hereโ€™s a little tip for you โ€“ this recipe is very easy to double! Just use a larger baking dish and cook for 5-10 minutes longer. So why not whip up a big batch and share it with your family and friends? Theyโ€™ll be begging you for the recipe in no time.
