Pineapples Suck!!!
I love pineapples. They have the best flavor ever, especially in combo with coconuts. Anyway, as it turns out pineapples are not that nutrient dense at all. They give you 50 calories for 4oz. ( which is like a couple of slices.) The only notable nutrient is vitamin C, but still only at 50% d.v. which is pathetic compared to many other fruits. So 50 kcal/2000 kcal which is 2.5 percent of our daily value for caloric intake means that it is nutrient dense for vitamin C. All of the other important things in pineapples are less than 2.5% d.v.
