Ananas comosus is a tropical fruit and is commonly known as pineapple. The name pineapple refers to the resemblance of this fruit to a pinecone. This fruit is rich in antioxidants and other nutrients which help to defend the body against other diseases and free radicals.

It’s an indigenous fruit of the tropics, but one can grow it in other places by providing favorable conditions such as a greenhouse powered by solar energy.

For the purpose of making tea, I recommend that you use only organic pineapples. The skin of pineapple is often discarded and is not preferred for use but these skins are a rich source of several nutrients.

The skin of pineapple is often used with other additives to enhance the nutritional count of your recipe. It is rich in Bromelain which is a secondary metabolite and aids in digestion. This metabolite helps to treat dyspepsia (indigestion) and other problems related to the stomach and GIT tract. The healing properties of pineapple peel help to maintain the overall health of your digestive tract.

Pineapple skin tea is one of the best herbal teas which are prescribed by herbalists to treat any congestion. It is often combined with lemongrass and ginger to enhance the flavor and benefits of the tea. Different ingredients like cloves give typical fragrance to the tea, ginger is added for its typical strong flavor, and lemongrass is for the fresh taste.
