Here’s some good news about something sweet to eat.

WebMD reports that: “One cup of pineapple has only 74 calories and provides 94% of your RDA of vitamin C. It’s also high in manganese, an important mineral for the body’s muscle tone and nerve and bone health.”

Of course, cutting pineapple is no easy task. Here are a few steps that we find useful:

1) Use a sharp knife and a cutting board.

2) Remove the stalk first

3) Cut the bottom and the tops off

4) Remove all the prickly skin by slicing it off in thin pieces (leaving a cylindrical sphere of the native fruit)

5) Then cut the fruit in small or large slices
