Selecting, storing & prepping pear
- Selecting
- Pears ripen from the inside out — check ripeness by pressing gently near the stem, not the middle.
- Storing
- Ripen at room temperature; once ripe, refrigerate and use within a few days.
- Prepping
- Like apples, cut pears brown quickly — a squeeze of lemon juice slows the discoloration.
Storage guidance from the USDA FoodKeeper database (FSIS, Cornell University, and the Food Marketing Institute).

Key metrics
Nutrient density
Per 100 kcal, pear delivers about 4% of a Daily Value on average across 22 beneficial nutrients. The score is its percentile for that measure among the 177 foods in our database — higher means more nutrition per calorie. How this is calculated.
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
