Bromelain is found almost exclusively in the pineapple plant, particularly in the pineapple fruit and stem. No other fruits contain bromelain.
Other fruits contain different digestive enzymes but not bromelain:
- Papaya contains papain.
- Mango contains amylase.
- Kiwifruit contains actinidin.
- Bananas contain amylase and glucosidase.
- Avocados contain lipase.
In summary, pineapple is the only fruit that naturally contains bromelain. Bromelain is found almost exclusively in pineapple, particularly in the fruit and stem. No other fruits contain bromelain. Other fruits contain different digestive enzymes, such as papain in papaya, amylase in mango, and actinidin in kiwifruit, but not bromelain.
