According to a random double opt-in survey involving 2000 general population adult Americans conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Fresh Express, the average person is eating 4 salads a week, but only 14% are using the dressing as a dip on the side rather than toppings, and iceberg lettuce seems to be set to overtake the popularity of kale. 

Pineapple is more than just a strange-looking thingy, this yummy juicy tropical fruit also carries an impressive nutritional profile that helps to promote a range of benefits that can easily be incorporated into a meal or snack at any time of the day. 

Pineapple is widely available fresh, canned, and frozen making it available all year long. However, if canned make sure that it is packed in its natural juices rather than syrup for the best pizzazz. This fruit is also fairly flexible and can be used in a variety of ways from raw, to grilled, in a smoothie, as a salad topping, or in desserts to name a few. Regardless of how you enjoy eating this yellow delight, there are plenty of reasons why it is good for you.
