Ingredients: Descriptions and Photos
- Pineapple -

(Pineapple) Ripe pineapples have a deliciously sweet flavor. They also contain a digestive enzyme, bromelain. With the exception of vitamin C and Potassium, pineapples do not contain very much of the other vitamins and minerals. According to what we have read, bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits and encourages healing. Choose pineapples by their "pineapple" fragrance, and with some golden yellow color. They should be heavy for their size and have no soft spots. Pineapples do not ripen once they have been cut from the plant, so select ripe ones at the time of purchase. See the nutritional chart below.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-11)
