Think outside of the box

The next time you’re craving a sweet treat, don’t reach for a boxed snack that can be highly processed, not to mention being chock full of refined sugars.  Reach for a naturally sweet, juicy pear instead—they taste incredible & pack a nutritious punch!

Fresh pears are a good source of vitamin C.  Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber and vitamins A and C) may reduce the risks of some types of cancer.

Fresh pears are a good source of dietary fiber.  Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits and vegetables that contain certain types of dietary fiber may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

So, the next time you’re tempted to reach for a sweet treat—think outside of the box.  Make a healthy choice—fresh pears are naturally delicious!
