This wonderful winter pear is mild and sweet in flavour, and incredibly juicy! They have a dense texture and are less 'grainy' than other pears.
Pears offer a good source of vitamin C, folate and dietary fibre. One medium-sized pear has less than 100 calories. Most of the vitamin C and fibre content is in the skin of the fruit, so pears should be eaten unpeeled. Providing some potassium and iron, pears contain pectin, a soluble fiber that helps control cholesterol levels.
