Seasonal Feature Pears Feb 09 |
Pears supply good amounts of vitamin C and copper, both nutrients that have an antioxidant effect protecting our cells from free radical damage and supporting immunity. The fruit is also a source of phosphorus, essential for healthy, strong bones. They are also a source of pectin which is a gentle form of soluble fibre and supports digestion. Enjoy pears poached with a little vanilla, serve sprinkled with vanilla flavoured seeds, as a juice or simply grated on porridge.
