Found this info:


"Pineapple is Good for Colds and Coughs While many people often take extra vitamin C or drink extra orange juice when they have a cold, few consider eating pineapple. The benefits of pineapple when you have a cold or cough are the same as the benefits of orange juice, but there is an additional benefit of pineapple. Bromelain, which is found in pineapples, has been found to help suppress coughs and loosen mucus." 


-Its nutrients include: calcium, potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. 
-In addition it is low in fat and cholesterol.
