Reply to comment by Amationary in ELI5: Why does eating pineapple make my tongue tingle? by crqlp4

Is this the same thing that happens when eating Monstera deliciosa as well?

Monstera Fruit just tastes like pineapple, it doesn't have bromelain in it.

If you eat the monstera's fruit unripe, it still contains needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals like in the rest of the plant, puncturing and irritating the lining of the mouth and throat.
