Pears

Pears are another high-fiber fruit, with roughly 5.5 grams of fiber per medium-sized fruit (about 178 grams). This amounts to 22% of the RDI for fiber.

Pears are particularly high in fructose and sorbitol when compared to other fruits, in addition to the fiber benefits. Fructose is a sugar that some people have trouble absorbing. This implies that part of it makes its way to the colon, where it draws water through osmosis, causing a bowel movement. Sorbitol, sugar alcohol present in pears, is also found. Sorbitol, like fructose, is poorly absorbed by the body and functions as a natural laxative by causing the intestines to fill with water. Pears may be added to your diet in a variety of ways. They can be eaten raw or cooked, with cheese, or added to salads, savory dishes, and baked goods.
