Pineapple juice (liquid)

Pineapple juice is the sweet, tangy liquid extracted from pineapple, drunk on its own or used in marinades, cocktails, and desserts. Fresh juice contains an enzyme that can tenderise meat in a marinade, though this enzyme is deactivated by heat, so cooked or canned pineapple juice behaves differently. Its natural sweetness and acidity make it a common addition to tropical-flavoured dishes and drinks.

As a free-flowing liquid, this ingredient fills a measuring cup with no trapped air pockets, so its weight is close to a straightforward density calculation.
