Unsweetened Pineapple

Unsweetened pineapple is the fruit of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) with no added sugars. It is typically canned or frozen for preservation and use in various food products. The fruit is known for its sweet, tart flavor and firm texture.

Manufacturers use unsweetened pineapple to add natural fruit flavor and moisture to baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as desserts. Its natural sweetness and texture contribute to the overall appeal of these products. It is often found in frozen desserts and snack cakes.

Unsweetened pineapple is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of vitamin C and manganese. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of any fruit can contribute to high sugar intake, though the sugars in whole fruit are naturally occurring. JECFA has evaluated pineapple and its components, and EFSA has also assessed fruit juices and concentrates. No specific health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
