Im allergic to pineapple sadly. I love the taste of pineapple (not on pizza lol) but every time I eat anything flavored it or just eat pineapple it takes me weeks for the burning to stop.
My husband got cherry and pineapple popsicles and he ate 3 he said it tingled on his lips and tongue. I ate 1 my lips swelled up and my tongue had a porcupine look to it and it burned on my lips, tongue, and throat for 2 weeks.
Funny part I told him I was allergic and he believed me but he told some gamer friends of his and they said I wasn’t it’s just the stuff in the pineapple that eats meat blah blah blah! He almost believed them till he saw it take me 2 week to heal.
-.- I looked like a fish for 2 weeks.
Random fact: this is why you can't use fresh pineapple in gelatin-based desserts. That enzyme prevents the gelatin from setting properly. You can still use canned pineapple though because the canning process denatures the enzyme
That's why when you use it to make milkshakes or smoothies with dairy (milk, yogurt) you have to cook the pineapple first! Otherwise it'll make the milk go very bitter.
It doesn't just break up meat proteins, it breaks up proteins. So you leave your yogurt smoothie in the fridge overnight and in the morning it's bitter as hell. Yes, I'm talking from experience.
