Pears are a sweet, juicy pome fruit with soft, granular flesh and a thin edible skin. They provide soluble fibre, small amounts of vitamin C and copper, and gentle natural sugars.

Drying removes water and concentrates sugars, fibre and minerals; most vitamin C is lost in the process, so portion sizes should be smaller.
