Fruit is packed with great minerals and vitamins helping us to keep our health on track. Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits in a pear. Pears are a great source of vitamin C (which is vital for the body’s healing process), vitamin K (useful for blood clotting and building bones) and potassium (helps to regulate the heartbeat).
It contains a number of other vitamins and minerals as well as being an excellent source of fibre. Fibre is essential to keep our digestive system healthy.
