About Pears, canned, heavy syrup, drained
Canned pears are ripe pears peeled, cored, halved or diced and packed in liquid, in this case a heavy sugar syrup. Canning leaves them meltingly soft and mild, holding their gentle flavor far longer than fresh pears, which bruise and turn quickly.
Drained, they come to about 74 calories per 100 grams, almost all carbohydrate, with around 16 grams of sugar, partly from the syrup. They keep a respectable amount of the pear's fiber, close to 3 grams per 100 grams, which is more than many canned fruits, alongside a little vitamin C.
They are a soft, sweet, easy fruit for desserts, lunchboxes and gentle meals, good over yogurt and porridge or baked into crumbles. As with all syrup-packed fruit, the juice-packed version is the lower-sugar choice.
