Pears, average, stewed with sugar

These figures describe pears stewed with water and added sugar. They mainly provide carbohydrate, including sugars, along with some fibre and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, stewed pears with sugar provide 308 kJ of energy, 19g of carbohydrate, 19g of sugars and 2.1g of fibre.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. The sugar content includes both sugars naturally present in the pears and sugar added during preparation; the figures do not show these separately. This is worth noting when considering sugar or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
