⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high concentration of natural sugars can cause rapid blood-sugar spikes, making portion control key for those managing glucose levels. To counteract this, dilute it generously with water or sparkling water, or pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like yogurt or nuts) to slow sugar absorption.

💡 Did you know?
The bromelain enzyme in pineapple is so potent that it can prevent gelatin from setting, which is why you can't make a traditional Jell-O mold with fresh pineapple unless it's first cooked or canned.

FAQ
How do I use this concentrate?
Follow the can's instructions, but a common ratio is mixing one part concentrate with three to four parts cold water or sparkling water to make juice.
Is it the same as canned pineapple juice?
No. This is a thick syrup you dilute. Canned juice is typically ready-to-drink and has a thinner consistency and slightly different flavor profile.
Can I use it in baking?
Absolutely! It's fantastic for adding moisture and intense flavor to cakes, muffins, and glazes. Remember to adjust other liquids in the recipe.
