May not be great for everyone

As much as this combination has been an age-old culinary delight, but as per the books of Ayurveda it is believed that mixing sour fruits like pineapple or oranges with dairy can mess with the digestive health, when combined with yogurt.

It can cause the yogurt to curdle in your stomach, leading to gas, discomfort, and even bloating, especially for people with sensitive digestive system.
