WHEN YOU EAT PINEAPPLE, IT EATS YOU BACK?

Written by on June 6, 2023

Have you ever eaten too much pineapple and ended up with a tingly mouth? Apparently, there’s some #science behind it and pineapples are eating you back!

I came across this TikTok video yesterday and that sent me into a deep rabbit hole of fruit proteins. 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back, but resulted in some interesting info. Turns out Kiwi, papaya, fig, and other fruits have these enzymes, too.
