Grown in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Central America, the Red Spanish pineapple has an orange-colored skin, a fibrous flesh, and a somewhat smaller shape than Smooth Cayenne Pineapples. Besides, it is packed with nutrients, antioxidants and other helpful compounds, such as enzymes that can fight inflammation and disease. As a matter of fact, several studies have also shown that pineapple and its compounds may reduce the risk of cancers. This is because they may minimize oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
