Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that digests proteins and causes a tingling sensation on the tongue when consumed.
Why it is true
Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes that break down protein molecules. When we eat fresh pineapple, this enzyme starts digesting the proteins on the surface of our tongue and cheeks, causing slight irritation or temporary tingling.
