Eat pears whole or cut into quarters. If desired, remove the core. The skin is edible and a great source of fiber. To keep sliced pears from browning, briefly soak them in 1 quart of water + 3 tablespoons lemon juice.

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Pear
Before you can enjoy a pear, it’s essential to select the perfect one. Look for pears that are firm but not too hard, with a slight give when gently pressed near the stem. Avoid pears with bruises or blemishes, as they may not be as enjoyable to eat.

How do you eat a pear?
Eat the pair out of your hand, skin and all. You can eat pears just like you eat an apple, by holding them and eating around the middle. Pears have cores too, so don’t eat too far in (unless you want to)! If you don’t like the taste of the pear’s skin and find it too bitter or tough, you can carefully remove the skin with a knife first.
Can you eat pears on the keto diet?
Most keto diets aim for a total amount of carbohydrate intake of around 50 grams/day. It is up to the individual following the diet as to what foods are consumed considering the allotted amount of allowed carbohydrates in one day. It is advised to keep rich carbohydrate foods to a minimum as to not exceed the allotted carbohydrate amount. One pear weighing around 180 grams (a medium-sized pear) contains about 27 grams of carbohydrates, which would be a little over half of the daily carbohydrate intake allowed for the day. To say that pears are not allowed in the keto diet would be wrong, but it is advised to be mindful of its high carbohydrate content.
What to eat with pear?
Pears can be served as an appetizer with prosciutto or Parma ham. Pears can be poached, either whole or in halves, in light wine syrup, raspberry syrup, or sugar syrup. Pears can be baked with butter and sugar or poached, sliced, and arranged on top of a fruit tart. Pears blend well with apples, quinces, chocolate, and ginger.
Can you eat a ripe pear sliced?
If you don’t like the taste of the pear’s skin and find it too bitter or tough, you can carefully remove the skin with a knife first. This will make the pear a bit more juicy and tougher to eat out of your hand, though, so if you want to skin the pear, it may be better to eat them sliced (see the next step).
