Pears, raw, flesh and skin

Pears are a fruit, and these figures describe raw pears with both the flesh and skin included. They mainly provide carbohydrate, along with fibre and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 11g of carbohydrate, including 11g of sugars, and 2.7g of fibre, providing 182 kJ of energy.

Fibre supports normal bowel function and helps to keep stools soft and easier to pass. The sugars in whole raw pears are naturally present within the fruit rather than added sugars. Pears contain very little fat or saturated fat. Full nutrient figures, including vitamin and mineral amounts, are shown in the tables below.
