HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pineapples have a high content of vitamin C, manganese, and bromelain which can help reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and boost the immune system. However, the added sugar in this recipe should be taken in moderation. Mascarpone cheese is a rich source of calcium and protein but it is high in saturated fat so it should be consumed in moderation.
