The natural carbs and sugars give quick energy, which can fit well for snacks between meals. It\u2019s also low in fat (0.6g) and sodium (1mg), making it a lighter choice compared with many sweet treats. If you\u2019re watching sugar intake, it helps to remember that pears still contain natural sugar\u2014so pairing it with protein or healthy fat can help keep you satisfied longer.","healthier_tips":["For your 1\u20132 daily snacks, try 1 small to 1 medium pear (or about 1 cup sliced) instead of sugary desserts. To make it more filling, pair pear with plain yogurt, milk, or a small handful of nuts. If you\u2019re eating it with meals, keep the fruit portion to about 1 serving so your plate stays balanced with rice\/bread, ulam, and gulay."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/pear?agent=true"}}}
