Pears, average, flesh and skin, raw, weighed with core and stalk

Pears are a fruit, and these figures describe the raw flesh and skin, with the weight including the core and stalk. Per 100g weighed this way, they provide 156 kJ of energy, 9.2g of carbohydrate and 2.3g of fibre. The carbohydrate is present as naturally occurring sugars, with little fat or protein.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function and helps to keep stools soft. The sugars in whole pears are contained within the fruit’s structure rather than added during preparation. The energy and carbohydrate content may be relevant for people monitoring their intake.
