Pineapple is an edible fruit packed with nutritional values but do you know that its peels are also useful? So when next you eat a pineapple, don’t dispose of its peels because of the following uses:
1. Skin exfoliation
Pineapple peels contain bromelain, an enzyme known for its exfoliating properties. Gently rub the inside of a pineapple peel on your skin and get rid of dead cells on your skin. This will make your skin smoother and brighter.
2. Hair Treatment
Indulge in hair care with pineapple peels. The enzymes in pineapple peels can help in reducing dandruff and make your hair shine. All you need to do is to boil pineapple peels in water. Next, allow the mixture to cool, and use as a final rinse after shampooing.
3. Soil fertility
Farmers can use pineapple peels to improve their soil’s health. Rich in nitrogen, potassium, and other nutrients, pineapple peels make a great addition to compost piles. You can create nutrient-rich soil by composting pineapple peels with other organic matter.
