Good question. And if u had 2 pears,you would have a pair of pears so would that make it 4 fruits?....
Reply:unless it is a pair of pears..that would be two...
Reply:Ha. That's a peach of a question.
Reply:There's often a bit confusion about what exactly counts as an

individual portion with regards to the whole '5 a day' thing.

Here are some examples:



1 medium sized apple, banana, pear or orange

1/2 an avocado or grapefruit

2 satsumas, clementines, plums or kiwi fruit

3 dates

1 medium glass - 150ml - of pure fruit juice or smoothie (you can only count this as 1 portion a day, regardless of how much you drink)

1 tablespoon of raisins, currants or sultanas (again, only 1 portion of dried food counts)



1/2 a pepper

3 heaped tablespoons of peas or sweetcorn

3 heaped tablespoons of beans or chickpeas (only 1 portion of pulses count)

2 broccoli spears

8 cauliflower flourets

1 cereal bowl of mixed salad
Reply:hahaha....no it's only one, not a "pair"
Reply:Of course is a fruit.

It aint no veg.

It aint no mineral

it aint no animal.



But remember its 5 different fruit 'n veg a day. You cant just have 5 pairs each and every day. How boring .
Reply:1 pear is one fruit ! why should it be considered 2 ?
Reply:1 medium sized pear is a portion.
Reply:- Increase your daily servings of fruits and veggies. Have a fruit or veggie kabob hot off the grill, snack on fruits and veggies like baby carrots, pepper slices, etc. 1 large apple equals 4 grams fiber; 1 banana equals 3 grams; 1 pear equals 4 grams; 1 cup berries equals 4 grams; 1 cup raw carrots equals 4 grams; 1 cup broccoli equals 4.5 grams*



A Pear the size of a womans fist is = to 1 serving **
Reply:A medium sized pear is considered a portion of fruit
Reply:Be glad it's not a prickly pair!!

lol
Reply:I've read that a "portion" is around 80g.

So I'd say 1 pear is 1 portion.
Reply:Only a lemon would ask that....{:o) !
Reply:depending on its size=a small pear=1 fruit,a large pear=2fruits
