Fruit isn’t typically a food that’s eaten to gain lean muscle, but pineapple is an exception. It’s the only food that contains bromelein, which is an enzyme that digests protein.
Be careful of bromelein because it can sting the inside of your mouth. Also, pineapple is an anti-inflammatory that can help soothe the pain and swelling from a workout.
