Pear Nutrition Facts

Fiber-forward fruit with gentle sweetness and vitamin C.

About Pear

Pears are one of the highest-fiber common fruits — a single medium pear packs 6 grams of fiber, much of it soluble pectin that supports gut health. They provide meaningful vitamin C, vitamin K, and copper, plus flavonoid antioxidants concentrated in the skin. Pears are on the EWG Dirty Dozen, so organic is a good choice when the budget allows.

Storage Tip

Ripen pears at room temperature; they ripen from the inside out, so check the neck for give rather than the body.
