Pineapple Core - dumb question

laurenlalap

... is this pineapple core? I asked in the store today and this is what I was given. But I get home and I notice the label says "cored" which implies the core is removed and this is just pineapple? 

WDYT??

The core is the hard middle of the pineapple. If this has a hole in the middle then the core has been removed. Sorry. Buy the whole thing and slice it yourself.

Pineapple core is the middle, if these have a hole then there is no core.

Yep, sorry for bad news, no core.  Only us girls TTC want that hard middle section.  I went and got some pineapple today too.

You could have googled "pineapple core". Did this really need its own thread on a TTGP board? Odd.

Thank you for your super helpful comment. I am definitely the first person ever to start a thread with a question that could have been googled. ODD

My stupid pineapple does not have a hole in it which is why I was confused.

Word.

Well, you can't really dictate the responses on a public forum. @hboaz said it was an odd question when a Google search would give the answer much quicker, there's nothing wrong in that.

hboaz

@laurenlalap No, you are not the first person to ask a question that could have been googled, but you will see that those people also get flamed every single time. You're not alone. Sorry but his is a TTGP board. Not a fruit Q&A board.

Lol @babyexpress I guess you're right. I should have considered the other TTGP ladies that don't know what a pineapple core is and were dying to know. )

If you're into myths and old wives tales, I guess. But I think that is bananas.

Baby aspirin is easier to come by though and does the same thing. All bromelain is is a natural blood thinner. But with pineapple you don't know how much, or little, you are getting from day to day.

I actually read that today (when I was googling) about bromelain.  I don't mind the pineapple though and its not like I'm expecting it to really help much, just thought I would try.  I only knew about it from these boards and lots of ladies try it.  But again, I'm not expecting it to be my magic trick this round.

You guise. Don't forget about the fruity va-jay-jays.

ummm hellloooooo - ANYTHING can be googled. I don't get this argument. 

KarenBeth714

I meant that as a joke -because of the previous mentions of googling and how funny the thread turned out to be!

Eat it. It's suppose to help with blood flow and circulation to aid in implantation. But too much can cause too much blood thinning and too little won't do anything. That's why a baby aspirin would be better because at least then you know what you are getting and in what quantities.

Here's an article

@WinniethePoohspants Since I googled this earlier today, I will provide what I found. 

It's what is in the pineapple that helps.  Cut up a whole pineapple and eat 1 slice everyday after Ovulation/IUI

Cut up a whole pineapple, cut the core into 5 pieces and eat once piece daily starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer - See more at: https://www.fertilityafter40.com/9-fertility-wonder-foods-separating-myth-from-fact-to-get-pregnant-faster-naturally.html#sthash.2acgyeni.dpuf

Ingredient of Bromelain

• Reduces inflammation in the body, including in the uterus. It is also a mild blood thinner which some believe can aid in implantation.
• Bonus: It is also used for preventing muscle soreness after intense exercise.
• Can be found in 1 cup of Pineapple, most predominately in the core of the fruit. (use only after O)
  

The benefits of blood thinners (in moderation, of course) during those months of “trying” is that they drive blood to the uterus, encouraging sticky embryos and reducing the chances of miscarriage. The fact that bromelain also functions as an anti-inflammatory means that it has promising benefits for your immune system, possibly preventing implantation issues which can be common for women who have inflammatory conditions.

as @lulucooks said Baby Aspirin is also a blood thinner.

Edit to add disclaimer: there is no concrete evidence for or against pineapple, but there are many positive anecdotes.
