Pear calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of pear contains 57 calories, with 0.4 g of protein, 15.2 g of carbohydrate and 0.1 g of fat. It provides 3.1 g of fiber and 9.8 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
Pears are picked hard and ripen off the tree, which is why the one in the shop is often a day or two away from being worth eating — press near the stem, not the belly, to judge it. A medium pear is about 101 calories with a genuinely useful 3.1 g of fibre per 100 g, much of it in the skin, so peeling throws away the best part. The slight grittiness is stone cells, a pear thing, not a sign it has gone over.
