HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this sandwich is not the healthiest option, the pineapple is a good source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as bromelain, an enzyme that can aid in digestion and reduce inflammation.
The spicy teriyaki sauce can also provide some health benefits, as it contains ginger and garlic which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
