What is this food?
Pear (fresh pear) is a sweet, juicy fruit. For every 100g, it has about 57 kcal, 12.6g carbohydrates, 2.7g fiber, and 8.4g natural sugar.
Why it matters to health
Pears can support better digestion because of their dietary fiber (2.7g per 100g). The natural carbs and sugars give quick energy, which can fit well for snacks between meals. It’s also low in fat (0.6g) and sodium (1mg), making it a lighter choice compared with many sweet treats. If you’re watching sugar intake, it helps to remember that pears still contain natural sugar—so pairing it with protein or healthy fat can help keep you satisfied longer.
Healthier tips
- For your 1–2 daily snacks, try 1 small to 1 medium pear (or about 1 cup sliced) instead of sugary desserts. To make it more filling, pair pear with plain yogurt, milk, or a small handful of nuts. If you’re eating it with meals, keep the fruit portion to about 1 serving so your plate stays balanced with rice/bread, ulam, and gulay.
