Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Dried Pineapple
Metabolic Effect: Dried pineapple can raise blood sugar levels quickly due to its high sugar content. It also contains fiber, but should still be consumed with caution.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dried pineapple alone, consuming it with yogurt or nuts can help balance blood sugar. It is important to pay attention to portion control.
Things to Consider: Dried pineapple is a more concentrated source of sugar than fresh pineapple. A few slices of dried pineapple may be equivalent to one serving of fruit.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from dried pineapple, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 35 minutes. Be sure to stay active during the day.
