General
If the pineapple is organically grown, then you can juice the rind too.
The rind of the pineapple is the primary source for the bromelain, a natural digestive enzyme that is also known to be a natural anti–inflammatory.
This is one of my favorite fruits to juice. You will be surprised at how delicious this juice is even after juicing the rind.
