things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of pineapple?
  About 5.33 g for finely minced fresh or drained canned pineapple, level. Pineapple juice at the same volume is closer to 5 g. Recipes that spec pineapple by the teaspoon are usually after the juice and enzymes — a teaspoon of pulp barely registers as a flavor in anything bigger than a single-serving sauce or a small batch of chutney.
• Will a teaspoon of fresh pineapple tenderize meat?
  Per pound of meat, you'd want a tablespoon or two of pineapple (or its juice) in a marinade — a single teaspoon is too little to noticeably tenderize. Bromelain works fast, so even a short marinade with the right amount can turn meat mushy if left more than 30 minutes. Use canned pineapple if you want sweetness without the enzyme effect.
• Why won't my pineapple jello set?
  Fresh pineapple's bromelain digests gelatin, so any jello, panna cotta, or aspic with raw fresh pineapple stays liquid. Even a teaspoon of fresh pulp or juice can soften a small set. Use canned pineapple — the canning process heats the fruit enough to denature the enzyme — or briefly simmer fresh pineapple before adding it to the gelatin mixture.
