Nutritious as Well as Delicious
Fruits and vegetables taste great, are essential to promoting good health and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including stroke, type 2 diabetes and perhaps cardiovascular disease and hypertension. At Maui Pineapple Company, we know you have a choice of which fruits to eat each day; here are some great reasons to put extra-sweet Maui Gold® pineapple at the top of your list.

Super Source of Vitamin C
Just two sweet, juicy slices of Maui Gold® provide 100% of the daily recommended value and three times the vitamin C of traditional pineapple. A popular, health-promoting antioxidant vitamin that helps form collagen, the connective tissue holding your muscles, bones and other tissues together, vitamin C also helps keep gums healthy; aids in healing cuts, helps the immune system protect against infection and strengthens blood vessels to help prevent bruising.

Awesome Antioxidants
Pineapple ranks as one of the top 50 foods with the highest antioxidant content per serving. Health-promoting antioxidants help protect cells from damage that may lead to cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.

Brimming with Bromelain
This protein-digesting enzyme is found only in pineapples and is believed to reduce inflammation and the pain caused by inflamed muscles, sinuses, etc.

More Manganese than Most Foods
Pineapple is an exceptionally high source of manganese, a trace mineral which is important in metabolizing fat and carbohydrates as well as in forming bone and connective tissue.

Weighing in on Weight Control
A nutrient-dense, flavorful serving of two slices of pineapple has only 60 calories and no fat, cholesterol or sodium.

Maui Gold® pineapples are truly a symbol of good health and nutrition. Enjoy their fresh, natural goodness and sweet, succulent flavor – vitality and nutrition never tasted so ‘ono (delicious)!
