Bosc pear nutrition in a sliced cup
The USDA FoodData Central record gives 67 calories per 100 g of raw Bosc pear. Its listed 140 g cup, sliced corresponds to 94 calories, 22.5 g carbohydrate, 4.3 g fiber, 14.3 g total sugars, and 0.5 g protein. This is the fruit alone, not a poached pear or a sweetened dessert.
Fiber and micronutrients
A sliced cup supplies about 171 mg potassium and 3.9 mg vitamin C. The fiber amount is 4.3 g per cup. These are composition figures; the database does not establish that this specific pear variety treats a health condition.
Scaling to another Bosc pear size
USDA lists a small pear at 159 g, a medium at 179 g, and a large at 219 g. The record reports 67 calories and 3.1 g fiber per 100 g, so a weighed pear can be estimated from those values. Actual fruit size and edible weight vary.
