Pineapple Jam

Under its golden and juicy robe, the pineapple reveals an explosion of tangy and sweet flavors. The surprise comes from a hint of organic spices carefully measured by the chef, which brings warmth and depth, transforming each bite into a fruity, exotic and subtly spicy experience. Season: Year-round (peak production in spring and summer) Pineapple, an exotic gem with a sweet and tangy flavor Recognizable by its rough skin and crown of green leaves, pineapple is a tropical fruit that immediately evokes warmth and vacation. Its golden, juicy and fragrant flesh combines sweetness and acidity, offering a refreshing and exotic taste experience. HAS Enjoy it plain or in cooking Pineapple can be enjoyed fresh, sliced, or cubed, but it's also a key ingredient in many sweet and savory recipes: fruit salads, smoothies, pies, ice cream, and even exotic dishes such as stir-fries, grilled dishes, or marinades. Its ability to tenderize certain meats makes it an ideal ally in the kitchen. Practical tip: to choose a ripe pineapple, choose one whose leaves come off easily and which gives off a sweet and fruity aroma. A powerhouse of beneficial vitamins and enzymes Pineapple is rich in vitamin C and manganese, and contains a unique enzyme called bromelain, known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. This enzyme helps break down proteins, making digestion easier. Low in calories, it is an ideal health ally for treating yourself without guilt. A fruit with distant origins Native to South America, particularly Paraguay and Brazil, the pineapple was discovered by Europeans during Christopher Columbus's expeditions in the 15th century. Since then, its cultivation has spread to tropical regions of the world, notably to Hawaii, Thailand, the Philippines and Ivory Coast. Unusual: a surprising plant The pineapple doesn't grow on a tree but on a low-growing plant, similar to the anthurium, which produces a single fruit per stem. Its harvest requires special care and a warm climate so that the fruit can fully develop.
