The flesh of wild pineapple can also be eaten, but it tastes sour and astringent, and it does not taste good when eaten directly.

The taste will be much better.

2. Soak in salt water

Wild pineapple is actually a poisonous wild fruit. It cannot be eaten casually. If you want to eat the fruit of wild pineapple, it is best to remove the peel, take out the flesh and cut it into pieces, and then soak it in light salt water for a few hours. This will allow the toxic components it contains to be decomposed, and it will be safer for people to eat it without obvious symptoms of poisoning.
