Bromelain helps the body's digestive system and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain has also been found to aid the action of certain antibiotics and drugs and also complementing the healing process in the cases of trauma caused by injury.

This naturally sweet fruit also makes a superb refreshing drink, which combines excellently with other topical fruits to make mouth-watering juices.
