Pineapple fruit contains potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, in addition to sulfur as well.
Among the vitamins that are included in the composition of pineapple are A, B, and vitamin C. Because of its richness in the aforementioned nutrients, pineapple is useful as a good digestive, diuretic, body tonic and anti-toxin.
