Frozen pineapple juice,work the same as fresh pineapple?

[happymom83]

i've been ready alot from you guys about pineapple helping get things started or ready.what about frozen pineapple (100%) juice?just wondering.i'll be in town on friday and was wanting to get some fresh pineapple.but thought about getting the frozen juice to.i think it would be good blended with ice.any ideas or advice,does it still have the same enzymes?: lol.thanx...

My understanding with the pineapple is that the benefit comes from the enzymes in the fruit. Freezing should be okay (I think...though you'd want to thaw it first) but if the juice was heat processed then the enzymes could have been damaged/destroyed.

That is what I've heard too. I don't know if the juice would be as effective. I know canned pineapple doesn't work because it has been heated.
