Pear

got this right
A medium sized pear has
17 grams of sugar whereas an apple has 19 grams and an orange has 25 grams.
Pears are great for you because they consist of a compound called pectin fiber.
This fiber has special benefits as it's water-soluble and helps lower
cholesterol while increasing digestive health!

polyphenolic compounds, both of which are known to have strong antioxidant
capabilities that can prevent aging and certain diseases!
5.
Banana

is a berry as it is produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering
plants in the genus Musa. Surprisingly, a strawberry is not scientifically a
berry as it forms from a flower that has many ovaries. This makes it a complex
fruit rather than a 'simple' fruit.
