Bromelain
When Christopher Columbus visited Guadeloupe in 1493, the natives gave him pineapple. In 1891, bromelain was discovered to have therapeutic uses in treating arthritis. It has been shown to help reduce the swelling caused by joint pain. It occurs in all parts of the pineapple, but is most concentrated in the stem.
