What part of the pineapple makes your tongue itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enzymes in core: There are enzymes concentrated in the core that are used to tenderize meat. These are what makes your tongue itchy or tingling. These enzymes are also in the rest of the pineapple but not as concentrated and in kiwi. Avoid the core. Salt water rinses can stop the itching.
