Lots of people get excited about apple picking and cobblers this time of year, but what about pears? Pears are also in season through the early fall months.

Pears are delicious AND offer some surprising health benefits!

🍐 Pears are high in fiber, which slows the absorption of sugar and supports healthy blood sugar levels.

🍐 The fiber in pears also makes them supportive for gut health—including bowel movements and the microbiome.

🍐 Pears contain antioxidant plant compounds that can support heart health and fight inflammation.

🍐 Pears are nutrient-dense, providing folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and copper.
