Can A Pineapple Eat You?

The video explains how pineapples contain bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins, including those in human cells, causing a tingling sensation when eaten. It compares bromelain with enzymes in other fruits like kiwi and papaya, which also aid in protein digestion. The video discusses the role of these enzymes in fruit ripening and seed development, and suggests cooking fruits to deactivate the enzymes and avoid discomfort.

Why might proteolytic enzymes prevent animals from eating unripe fruit?

What can be done to avoid the stinging sensation caused by bromelain in pineapples?
