Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pear

  • Metabolic Effect: Thanks to its high fiber and pectin content, pear regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness for a long time. Due to its low glycemic index, it raises blood sugar in a balanced way.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Since most of the vitamins and fiber are in the skin, it is healthiest to wash the pear thoroughly and consume it with its skin. Sprinkled with a little cinnamon, it can be a perfect snack to suppress sweet cravings.
  • Things to Consider: Due to its fructose content, diabetic patients should pay attention to portion control (1 small/medium size in one sitting). Also, it may cause bloating in those with sensitive bowels (IBS).
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the energy of one medium pear (approx. 100 calories), a 25-30 minute brisk walk or 10 minutes of rope jumping is sufficient.
