1 cup (medium) of Pineapple water (240 g) has 29 calories. That works out to 12 calories per 100 g. It contains 7.2 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.2 g of fiber. Its 0.5 mg of Manganese covers 21% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Pineapple water is a light drink made with pineapple and water. It may be prepared by blending fruit with water or by letting pineapple pieces infuse it, so the drink can be clear or slightly cloudy and pulpy. In Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America, it is often served as agua fresca, sometimes sweetened.
Serve it chilled with a meal or as a refreshing drink on a warm day. Its flavour is gently sweet and tangy, with a soft texture if blended or fruit pieces are left in the glass. It is low in energy, at 12 calories per 100 g. For a lighter version, skip added sugar; mint or a squeeze of lime pairs well.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Pineapple water is made by infusing fresh pineapple pieces in drinking water. Add washed, chopped pineapple to a covered jug, refrigerate it for a few hours, then drink it with the fruit pieces or strain them out.
Pineapple water is water flavored by pieces of pineapple, usually served chilled. It is different from straight pineapple juice: the fruit infuses the water rather than being fully juiced into it.
Yes, pineapple water can be made with the peel, but scrub the whole pineapple thoroughly under running water first and remove damaged areas. Keep the peel steeping in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
Pineapple water usually needs a few hours in the refrigerator for the fruit flavor to infuse. Taste it as it steeps and remove the pieces once the flavor is right rather than leaving them in for days.
Yes, refrigerate pineapple water while it infuses. Cut fruit can support bacterial growth at room temperature, so use a covered container in the refrigerator and pour out any drink that develops an unusual smell or appearance.
Pineapple water is best consumed within a day or two when stored covered in the refrigerator. The pineapple softens and the flavor changes over time; discard it sooner if it smells fermented or looks unusual.
No, pineapple water is not the same as pineapple juice. It is water flavored by infusing pineapple pieces, while juice is extracted from the fruit and is generally more concentrated in natural sugars.
No, pineapple water does not cause weight loss on its own. Choosing it instead of a sugary drink may reduce added sugar intake, but it has no special fat-burning effect.
No, pineapple water does not detoxify the body. It can make plain water more appealing, but your liver and kidneys handle waste processing; pineapple water is not a cleanse or a treatment.
Pineapple contains bromelain, but pineapple water is not a reliable source of a meaningful amount. How much, if any, passes into the water depends on the fruit and preparation, so it should not be treated like a bromelain supplement.
