Our Verdict
When comparing pear to pineapple, we picked the pineapple.
Why?
They do both have their merits, and pear started off strong!
In terms of macros, pears have 2x the fiber, for approximately the same carbs and protein, winning in this category.
In the category of vitamins, pear has more of vitamins E and K, while pineapple has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, and choline, winning easily.
Looking at minerals, pear has more phosphorus and potassium, while pineapple has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc, scoring another win for pineapple.
In other considerations, pineapple gives a lot of extra benefits because it contains bromelain, an enzymatic mixture that is unique to it—you can read all about that in the link below!
