Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Canned Pineapple
Metabolic Effect: Canned pineapple contains a higher proportion of sugar compared to fresh pineapple, and its glycemic index is also higher. This can cause blood sugar to rise faster. The amount of fiber it contains is also reduced compared to fresh pineapple.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming canned pineapple alone, consuming it with foods containing fiber and protein, such as yogurt or oatmeal, can help balance blood sugar. Small portions should be preferred.
Things to Consider: Canned pineapple has a higher calorie value compared to fresh pineapple because it contains added sugar. A few slices of canned pineapple are equivalent to one serving of fruit and can increase your daily sugar intake.
Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to walk at a light pace for about 10 minutes to burn the calories you get from a few slices of canned pineapple. However, it is important to pay attention to the frequency of consumption due to its sugar content.
