You know how your saliva has enzymes that help break down foodstuff? So does pineapple. While you're breaking down the pineapple a bit with your enzymes, the pineapple is doing the same to your tongue. That's what makes it tingle.

So does your stomach acid neutralize the enzymes from the pineapple?

Stomach acid and your own digestive enzymes break down the bromelain (the pineapple enzyme).

So will heat. Grill your pineapple.

Or can it. Canned pineapple doesn't burn my mouth at all.

Good question.

Oh, I wasn't asking, I was saying that canning pineapple heats it up and destroys the bromelain lol
