Pears are rich in cellulose, minerals, and vitamins C and B. They have a lot of fiber, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Pears have a calming effect, regulate intestinal flora, help with constipation and detoxification of the body, and also regulate the function of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Even just one pear a day improves insulin secretion, although due to high fructose content, pears are not recommended for diabetics.

Pear juice is one of the best, most nutritious, and most vitamin-rich winter fruit juices available in our region. Of course, we are referring to natural juice made from freshly squeezed fruit.

Industrially prepared juices do not have even a tenth of the nutritional power of homemade juices. In addition, store-bought juices have added sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, and a bunch of preservatives.

The best combination for homemade juice is if you add lemon and kiwi juice to the pears. An excellent breakfast substitute is a combination of pear, carrot, and apple.

One more thing: pear juice can also be used as a substitute for sugar. If you remove the water from the juice (1/8 is the thick part, 7/8 is water), then three tablespoons of concentrated pear juice equals two tablespoons of sugar. Many households that do not use regular sugar use pear juice instead.
