Many friends are curious about why pineapples should be soaked in salt water before eating. Some people say that it is because there is a lot of protease in pineapple that our mouth may sting when eating pineapple. Salt water can remove protease and make pineapple less "stinging", but in fact, salt water can't remove much protease. Most of the reasons for soaking pineapple with salt water in street stalls are more likely to be "conformity". Look, I can't lose like this, so I'll deal with it.

In fact, it is also advisable to soak in salt water. After all, cut fresh pineapples should be exposed to air.
