to give DC tinned pineapple?

[EatDessertFirst]

DS has developed a love of pineapple from having it a couple of times at nursery where they do it from fresh.

Cutting up a fresh pineapple seems like a massive faff but, if it would be better than tins, I am well prepared to be told IABU.

I'd get the kind in juice not syrup.

Awaiting your wisdom.

Go for it.

[IHeartKingThistle]

Why on earth not? We get through a fair bit of it!

[janey68]

How about those slices of fresh pre cut pineapple rather than tinned? That way it'll surely be better?

[Greenandcabbagelooking]

Go for it. I hate chopping pineapple so tins it is. Fruit in tins still counts as a portion.

We have a tool for cutting up / decoring pineapples ,it takes my DH about 10 minutes to chop it up and works out much cheaper than tins and is nicer . We always have bowls of it ready in the fridge .

[Snatchoo]

Why wouldn't you? I hate chopping pineapple it really irritates my hand.

[Hooleywhipper]

Not being unreasonable at all

[Confusedaboutstatements]

My DS loves the pre-cut fresh pineapple from the supermarket. I just can't seem to find the motivation to chop one up myself.

[lazypepper]

Nothing wrong with it. I don't think it is a crunchy as fresh pineapple though.

You can peel and cut up a pineapple and store it covered in the fridge for a couple of days.

At the moment pineapples are quite reasonably priced- Aldi 79p this week. I can eat a full half ot myself quitehappily :)

[SystemIDUnknown]

I hardly ever buy an actual pineapple. It's so messy and such a pita to clean. The kids probably have tinned pineapple once a week, it's a favourite here for dessert, especially with icecream on!

[EatDessertFirst]

Oh good I can do it relatively guilt-free. Thank you once again for your sage advice.

[Tryharder]

Gwan, open up a tin, live dangerously ;)

"How about those slices of fresh pre cut pineapple rather than tinned? That way it'll surely be better?"

Why?

[Fathertedfan]

Delicious. My mother would serve it with evaporated milk!

[FortyFacedFuckers]

I have a little gadget from Lakeland that makes cutting pineapples so much easier. (Not that I have anything against tinned)

[EatDessertFirst]

Tin opened and duly snaffled by DS. I was looking on longingly as it my fave fruit but if I eat it I break out in hives!!

(Mind you, there is Piriton in the first-aid box......)

I dont know where people get the idea that putting fruits orvegetables into a tin makes them inferior. When actually its often tge opposite, tinned doesnt deteriorate with storage the way "fresh" often does. Is it that they think its lowerclass or something?

[LIZS]

ds eats it for breakfasts all the time - convenient and "fresh"

[UrethraFranklin]

I prefer tinned pineapple to fresh!

[HazeltheMcWitch]

OP, why do you need MN permission for tinned fruit?

[McSnuff]

If you break out in hives, OP, it may be because you're allergic to a particular enzyme in raw pineapple. Cooking it - which happens when it's tinned - destroys the enzyme. You may be OK with tinned pineapple, if you can wrangle it out of your DS's hands, that is.

I Am Not a Doctor. I just have the equivalent for kiwi fruit (no loss) and a mate who has the pineapple version.

[EatDessertFirst]

Not permission. Just opinions. I'm not an expert on tinned vs fresh (nutritional values, is it just laziness etc).

Isn't that what AIBU is for?

[EatDessertFirst]

I've never thought about it like thatMcSnuff. I'll have to conduct a self-experiment as its been so long since I ate it. Thank you.

Dd loves pineapple, she has the pre cut packs as I have an allergy and cant touch or eat it
