Even if we eat a slice of spiny lush yellow delight tongue starts dancing , then think of SpongeBob who live in a Pineapple House.
Jokes Apart come lets know the SCIENCE behind it...…..
Some might think pineapple π has citric acid and malic acid ( 0.6 - 1.2 % ) so it cause this harmless and temporary burning sensation but Lemon π has 5 % then by the same logic would cause a tongue fire π₯.
The real reason is that Pineapple has "Bromelain" enzyme which breakdown the protective proteinaceous mucus layer which makes the tongue extra sensitive to acidic medium.
SO here are they ways you can control the fire in the mouth without an extinguisherπ§―!!
1) Keep the pineapple in saltwater for 30 mins ( That's why SpongeBob is not burnt outπ
)
2) Eat Pineapple with dairy products which is a source of proteins and can help to neutralize
3) Heat or cook Pineapple to denature the enzyme.
