I don’t seem to remember pineapple destroying my tastebuds when I was younger. But the last few years, when ever i eat pineapple, my tastebuds are ruined for a few hours. I just had some cut up pineapple from Trader Joes and it was delicious while eating it. Afterwards though I get that aftertaste. I was still kind of hungry and had a scoop if PB and the PB tasted like nothing, just kind of oily and the aftertaste of the pineapple. Even when its in a smoothie, I got a mango smoothie a few weeks ago that had pineapple in it and a carne asada burrito, i drank the smoothie on the drive home, when i got home i ate the carne asada burrito and it tasted like plain steak. This happen to anyone else?

Why does pineapple trash my tastebuds now?

It's something in the pineapple that literally messes with the taste buds on your tongue. If it bothers you, you can rub an entire unskinned pineapple with salt before cutting, or you can just salt pieces individually. Sounds funny but it works - doesn't effect me much so I don't do it.

Actually, it looks that may be the opposite. I have been brushing my tongue whenever I brush my teeth the last few years. Something I never did as a kid. So looks like the bromelain is literally eating my tongue instead of the fuzz that grows on your tongue . This also talks about the salt thing. I have also noticed that canned pineapple doesn’t do it.Originally Posted by AdamWW
