Pear (Pyrus communis)

PEAR
      The fruits of the pear (Pyrus communis) exhibit a relatively limited vitamin profile, but are characterized by a high concentration of specific mineral elements: boron (186.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), lead (160.0%), cobalt (100.0%), and rubidium (44.0%). The mineral profile further includes substantial quantities of thallium (20.0%), silicon (17.0%), vanadium (12.5%), nickel (11.3%), copper (10.0%), and iron (9.7%).
     The pear is rich in total phytosterols (15.0% DV) and mono- and disaccharides (19.6%), within which glucose (27.6% DV per 100 g) and fructose (17.8% DV) serve as the predominant sugars. The nutritional matrix also includes dietary fiber (16.0%) and pectic substances (19.6%). The fruit contains minor quantities of starch (0.5 g per 100 g) and sucrose (0.78 g).
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.
     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is minimal (6.2 mg), representing 1.6% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
     It should be noted that pear fruits exhibit a significant capacity for the bioaccumulation of toxic ultratrace elements, specifically: lead (160.0% DV per 100 g), thallium (20.0%), and strontium (8.6%).
