Pears, average, raw, flesh only

Pears are a fruit, and these figures describe the raw flesh only, without the skin. They mainly provide carbohydrate, including naturally occurring sugars, along with fibre and water. Per 100g, pear flesh provides 190 kJ of energy, 11g of carbohydrate, 11g of sugars and 2.7g of fibre. The data represent an average across several varieties grown in the UK and imported.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The sugars in raw pear flesh occur naturally within the fruit rather than being added. Pear flesh contains very little fat or saturated fat. These figures apply to raw flesh, not pears canned in syrup or prepared with added ingredients. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (22 samples, autumn and winter, UK grown and imported, pre-packed and loose, including Conference, Comice, Concorde, Rocha and Green Williams). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
