Does a Pineapple have citrus in it? Your friend, Brianna
Pineapple is a fruit, but it is not a citrus fruit. Citrus fruits belong to the family Rutaceae. Pineapple, however, are of the family Bromeliaceae. One of the main differences between the two is that citrus trees bear fruit from their branches, while pineapple fruit is the stem of the plant. Although not in the family of Rutaceae (citrus fruits), pineapple is very acidic and it is known that Pineapple pickers have no finger prints left due to the acidity in Pineapple.
Pineapple is not a citrus fruit, but it does contain citric acid, the main component of citrus juice that gives it its tart flavor. So, from a horticulture standpoint, no, it doesn't. From a flavor, taste, use in cooking, etc., standpoint, yes. Pineapple actually has other benefits over citrus fruits through its enzymes.
it is acidic because it is in the acidic family. Actually, grapefruit are alkalizing fruits. They have a PRAL value of around - 6. Although they are citrus fruits and therefore acidic in their native form, when we EAT grapefruit, the pH of their "ash" when they have been metabolized by the body is alkaline. So grapefruits are great to eat because of the nutrition the offer, they taste great and they are alkalizing to our bodies, not acidifying.

There are very few limitations on what a nursing mother can eat or drink. Pineapple juice is yum, full of vitamins, will help you to keep up your fluid intake and is fine for mothers to drink. The only exception would be if there was a family history of pineapple allergy, where even if the mother does not suffer from the allergy it is best to avoid. If no such allergy, drink up and enjoy! However, babies should not be given pineapple juice, or any other citrus juice, directly until well after their first birthday because it is too acidic for their developing stomachs. Breastfeeding children can be given a little cooled boiled water with their meals once they start on solids after six months.
