Pineapple Peel Tea

Updated: Sep 18, 2020


At our restaurant we hate to throw food or food scraps away, we rather recycle or re-use them where possible (if not they will go to the compost). Pineapple peel or pineapple skin is one of these food scraps. Did you know that pineapple peel have a lot of nutrition and is helpful with digestion and healing because of the bromelain protein in the skin.

So let's make tea from it! Of course we use a pineapple from our organic farm, so we are sure there are no chemicals on the peel.
