Now here's a wild coincidence for you. Progressing through my Nutrition textbook just this evening, I came upon this sentence:

Quote:
For example, Vitamin C in a pineapple or other citrus fruit can enhance the absorption of iron...
I still agree with the distinction of pineapple as a bromeliad, I'm just pointing out how your average person would have every reason to be misled on this topic. Even professional dietitians confuse them, it would seem.
