WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO
- Not recommended: ~12.1g net carbs per 100g exceeds strict keto limits
- High natural sugars (fructose) raise carb load quickly
- Low fat relative to carbs reduces satiety on keto
- Hard to fit daily macros unless tiny portions are used
- Juices/dried pears further concentrate sugars—avoid
- Lower-carb fruit alternatives (berries) are easier to include
HEALTH BENEFITS
- Good source of dietary fiber (including pectin) for gut support
- Provides vitamin C for immune function and collagen synthesis
- Contains copper for energy production and connective tissue health
- Polyphenol antioxidants offer anti-inflammatory activity
- Hydrating, low-calorie fruit when carbs allow
- May support glycemic control in general diets when paired with fiber/fat
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
SMALL RAW PORTION
Slice 20–30g and pair with cheese or nuts to blunt the glycemic impact.
POACHED IN CINNAMON
Poach a few thin slices with cinnamon and stevia; keep portions very small.
IN SALADS
Add 1 thin slice to a large arugula or spinach salad with olive-oil dressing and protein.
WITH CHEESE
Pair a small slice with brie-cheese or cheddar-cheese for a balanced snack.
BAKED WITH NUTS
Bake a few thin slices and top with a spoon of almond-butter or crushed pecans—strictly minimal.
