Cooking & Baking: Adds tropical flavor to sauces, marinades, curries, and glazes (e.g., for chicken or pork). In baking, it enhances cakes, muffins, cookies, or energy bars without adding excess liquid.
Beverages: Mixed into smoothies, fruit juices, teas, or cocktails for a sweet-tart boost. It’s also a key ingredient in powdered drink mixes or electrolyte formulas.
Desserts: Sprinkled over yogurt, ice cream, or fruit salads, or used in puddings and sorbets to amplify fruity notes.
Seasonings & Rubs: Blended with spices (like chili, ginger, or garlic) to create tropical-inspired rubs for meats, seafood, or roasted vegetables.
Supplements: Sometimes used in powdered supplements for its bromelain content, which may aid digestion and reduce inflammation (though research on its efficacy in powder form is ongoing).
Baby Food: Added to purees or cereals as a natural flavor enhancer for infants (check for added sugars if using commercial versions).
