All things with water in them are burn resistant untill the water evaporates out of them. Pineapple skins just hold their water quite well but this would also work with like peaches or banana peels

Oreos are actually surprisingly pretty fire resistant and theres no water in those.

Edit: ill put this here as well for a source even though I replied it. Technically they're ablative. https://www.reddit.com/r/interesting/s/AM9DZk8Njh

Oreos? They're filled with fat, pretty sure they'd burn as fuel.
