Grilling fruit is one of the most underrated pleasures of summer, and pineapple is the perfect fruit to grill. Not only is it packed with vitamin C, fiber and manganese (it’s also anti-inflammatory and helps digestion), pineapple’s natural sweetness means it gets beautifully caramelized when you cook it.
