Pineapple is an excellent source of manganese, which plays an important role in bone development and in converting carbohydrates, fats and protein into energy. In just one cup of pineapple, you get over 75% of the manganese you need in one day! This spiky fruit is also a great source of vitamin C, which helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy. Vitamin C also aids in iron absorption.
