(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 01, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- Pears of all varieties have been associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The regular consumption of pears is also associated with a decreased risk of stomach cancer and esophageal cancer. And pears are a very good source of dietary fiber, copper, vitamin C, and vitamin K.
Recent studies show that the skin of the pear contains three to four times as many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoids as the flesh. The skin also contains about half of a pear's total dietary fiber so it's best to eat both skin and flesh.
Pears are a versatile fruit that can be added to a variety of foods. Here are a few serving ideas: Combine pears with mustard greens, watercress, leeks and walnuts for a salad. Serve pears with goat or bleu cheese for a light dessert. Add chopped pears to cereal, oatmeal, breads, muffins and other desserts.
