Benefits of the pineapple shell.
To urinate better.
The pineapple shell is as abundant in water as the pulp itself. On the other hand, it has several minerals and vitamins that help to discard toxins from the body through urine. The union of these two properties makes it stand out as a strong natural diuretic. This is achieved by preparing it as an infusion as a tea and sweetening it with honey, it is taken twice a day and its benefits will be noticed.
For the skin.
Many people with good results also soak it in water for a few hours, then rub it into the skin using it as if it were an exfoliant, so that the creams that are used later are better absorbed and obviously their performance is optimized.
to make jam..
Wash the shell very well, cut it into small pieces and cook it with water, sugar, cinnamon and a few drops of lemon. When it is very soft, the shell is liquefied very well, it is strained and it is brought back to cook, this time with cornstarch to achieve thickness and you will have a rich jam that is also very nutritious.
As a decorative container for sauces..
Half a pineapple without the pulp, cut vertically, extract all of it, wash it, keeping it in its shape with everything and crown, and there they can serve sauces to accompany cookies or toasted bread that will give this shell a special touch. In such a way that it will be useful as additional decoration, for a table with snacks or simply for a meal where a special natural touch is required.
It's good as ingredient to prepare juices (with mint and horsetail) to eliminate little kidney stones or kidney sand. My husband often prepares it for me.
