Pears, dried

Dried pears are pears from which much of the water has been removed. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 52g per 100g, all of which is recorded as sugars. They provide 884 kJ of energy, 0.5g of fat and 750mg of potassium per 100g. The figures describe the dried fruit rather than fresh pears.

Drying concentrates the sugars naturally present in fruit, so the amount eaten is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. The total sugars figure does not distinguish naturally occurring sugars from any added sugars; ingredient lists can help clarify this for packaged products. Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
