What's better, Apples or Pears?

Answer by  shego (255)

I prefer pears. From a health stand point it's apples. The pectin found in apples helps to control appetite and also keeps insulin levels stable. This in turn enables the body to burn fat instead of store it. Calorie for calorie they rate about the same.

I like apples much better than pears. Don't get me wrong, I do like pears. I prefer apples that are more of the crunch side. I would suggest that if you can't choose between the two, opt for an Asian Pear. It is a combination of apple and pear. It is super good!

Pears are the definite winner. Apples suck so bad.

Apples, because pears are mushier and I personally think they don't have as much flavour. Plus, apples are better for cooking and baking with. Apple sauce, apple pie, caramel apples, etc are all better than pear tart, the only pear dessert I can think of.

Pears, by far. Unless you're talking about baking a pie or cobbler, in which case, apples would be the winners.

I think pears are better, but I end up eating significantly more apples... heres the reason: pears are often picked way too early, and unless you ripen them properly, they often pale in comparison to an average apple. a ripe pear however is fantastic.
