Pears rank second to the apple as the most popular U.S. fruit. A medium-sized pear contains about 103 calories and is a good source of health-promoting vitamin C. They have no cholesterol, sodium, or saturated fat and fresh pears also offer dietary fiber. It's a good idea to scrub a pear's skin to reduce pesticide residue and bacteria, even in organic pears.
