COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use fresh pineapple juice as a meat tenderizer in marinades; its bromelain enzyme breaks down tough proteins. Note that pasteurized juice from a can or carton will not have this effect as the enzyme is deactivated by heat.
2It serves as a key ingredient in sweet and sour sauces, providing a natural sweetness to balance the acidity of vinegar.
3Incorporate into beverages like smoothies, cocktails (e.g., Piña Colada), and punches for a tropical flavor boost.
4Add to baking recipes for cakes and muffins to provide moisture and a sweet, tangy flavor, or reduce it down to create a glaze for ham or chicken.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store unopened canned or bottled pineapple juice in a cool, dark place like a pantry for up to one year.
Once opened, refrigerate pineapple juice in a sealed container and consume within 5-7 days for best quality.
Freshly squeezed juice should be refrigerated immediately and consumed within 2-3 days to preserve nutrients and prevent spoilage.

FAQ
