Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Melissa Logan with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week. October is pear season, and this juicy fruit is not only delicious but also packed with nutrition!
- Pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber, with one medium pear providing about 6 grams, which is
24% of your daily needs. - They’re also a good source of vitamin C, supporting your immune system and skin health.
- Pears are perfect for snacking, but you can also poach them or add them to salads and baked goods fora sweet, nutritious boost.
- Next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up a few different varieties of pears to enjoy this fall!
