Gut-friendly ways to eat pineapple slices (canned in syrup, drained)
Drain the syrup before measuring the slices and cutting them for the dish. If you change from syrup-packed to juice-packed pineapple in a recipe, check that entry rather than keeping an assumed universal canned-fruit allowance. Dried pineapple is another distinct form with its own small serving references.
