                                Pineapple skin contains the enzyme bromelain, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, but boiling inactivates this heat-sensitive compound, significantly reducing or eliminating its effectiveness. Many traditional remedies call for boiling pineapple skins to make a tea, but for the purpose of preserving the active enzyme, this method is counterproductive.
